Study Notes
RBT Certification Maintenance
- RBTs should regularly review their BACB account, ideally on a monthly basis, to confirm the accuracy of personal information such as name, email address, and mailing address.
- Prompt reporting is required; RBTs must notify their supervisor within 24 hours upon discovering any changes to their certification status, which may include statuses like inactive, expired, suspended, or revoked.
- Upon reporting certification status changes, RBTs must adhere to all BACB requirements that pertain to practice, billing, and the proper use of the RBT title.
- Compliance with these protocols helps maintain professional standards and ensures that RBTs operate within the legal and ethical guidelines set forth by the BACB.
- Staying updated with BACB requirements is essential for valid certification and professional practice in behavior analysis.
