Education Assistants (EAs), Teaching Assistants (TAs), Special Education Assistants (SEAs), paraprofessionals, and anyone pursuing RBT certification who works — or wants to work — in a school setting. This course is designed for school staff specifically, not clinic-based trainees.
The RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a paraprofessional credential issued by the BACB. It requires 40 hours of training, practicum hours, and passing the RBT exam. A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a graduate-level independent credential. TAs and EAs typically pursue RBT certification to work under BCBA supervision in schools.
In Ontario, the RBT credential was replaced in July 2024 by the CPBAO (College of Professional Behavior Analysts of Ontario). Please check with the CPBAO regarding recognition of BACB-aligned training. This course is still valuable for professional development and skill-building regardless of credential recognition.
Most RBT courses are built for clinic settings with clinic-based examples. Ours is built specifically for school environments — every example, scenario, and role-play happens in a classroom, gym, hallway, or lunchroom. You also get live instructor access for 2 months after the course.
You get 6 months of full access to all Thinkific course materials, including recorded sessions, downloads, and the community forum.
All live sessions are recorded and posted to Thinkific within 24 hours. You can watch asynchronously and ask questions via the community forum.
No course can guarantee exam passage. Our exam prep module, mock review sessions, and competency prep are designed to set you up for success. Passing also depends on your study habits and practice.
