What’s Covered in the Course and Program?

Experience a 12-week live cohort, designed to help you earn your RBT Certification. This comprehensive program includes: Live sessions, The Empowered RBTTM 40-hour training course, Guided Notes Study Guide, Competency Assessment, BACB Supervisor, Mock Exam, and more!

The Empowered RBTTM 40-hour training course is an introductory training in behavioral science, specifically Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a systematic approach to understanding and changing human behavior, widely used in various fields including education, therapy, and organizational management. The course covers essential foundational lessons for entry-level practitioners, including proper assessment of behavior functions, measurement, and intervention strategies that increase and decrease behavior. Participate in-person or virtually with a live BACB instructor and classmates.

Your Guided Notes Study Guide is  an interactive, downloadable workbook designed to accompany your Empowered RBT™ 40-hour training course. This study guide will help you focus on learning by having you fill in key words from the video modules, ensuring you capture the most important information without the distraction of extensive notetaking.

Once completed, the Guided Notes will serve as an invaluable study tool for your comprehensive final exam, the BACB RBT Board Exam, and your entire career in behavior science, helping you improve the lives of those you work with.

The Competency Assessment is also included in this program. Once the 40-hour training course modules are completed, we move to the next phase together. You will sign a contract and be assigned a BACB supervisor. 

The RBT Mock Exam Practice Course includes: Quizzes on the Task List and RBT ethics code. It is designed to test you per topic, as well as challenge you to complete comprehensive exam similar to the BACB RBT Board Exam - the final step to becoming certified as a Registered Technician.
