How the lesson starts

Your role

As a Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, you help deliver behavior-analytic services. You are a paraprofessional certified in behavior analysis.

Close supervision

You don't do this work on your own. An RBT Supervisor or RBT Requirements Coordinator directs and closely supervises you and is responsible for your work.

Why certification matters

An employer needs to verify your qualifications. Certification makes it easier to check your knowledge and skills, appropriate oversight, and whether you're under disciplinary sanctions.

Application age

You're checking whether you can apply for Registered Behavior Technician certification. You must be at least 18 when you submit your RBT certification application.
