The Registered Behavior Technician™ (RBT®) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a Board Certified assistant Behavior Analyst™ (BCaBA®), Board Certified Behavior Analyst™ (BCBA®), or Board Certified Behavior Analyst – Doctoral™ (BCBA-D®). The primary responsibility of an RBT® is to directly implement behavior-analytic services. 

The NMU online Registered Behavior Technician training program is based on the RBT® 2nd Edition Task List and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for RBT® certification. The program is offered independent of the BACB®. Completion of the online training will result in a certificate of completion which can be used towards the scheduling of an Initial Competency Assessment with a qualified behavior analyst and the RBT® certification exam application. After completion of the online training, participants will complete their competency assessment one of NMU’s qualified behavior analysts.
