What is the RBT Competency Assessment?

The RBT Competency Assessment is a mandatory evaluation designed by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB^®). It verifies that RBT candidates can demonstrate the practical skills and professional behaviors expected under the current RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.). This assessment must be completed after your 40-hour training but before you submit your final RBT certification application, and no more than 90 days prior. It’s conducted by a qualified BCBA^® or BCaBA^® supervisor and involves demonstrating your abilities through various methods. Think of it as the practical bridge between your training knowledge and your future role as an RBT.
