"When I started the journey to RBT I didn't know what to expect. I've seen many jobs post looking for RBTs but I couldn't find a place that prepares me for it. Many places offered the 40 hours training but, no one offered guidance to the exam. Until one day a recruiter recommended me ATCC and it was a game changer. The lessons were so clear, the content was friendly, the team was so helpful when with questions and, most important, my BCBA being there when I needed. From the beginning until I passed my exam (first attempt) Ms. Katie was there. I started in March and got certified at the end of May, then found a job on June 2nd. Things ATCC helped with:-Help to build my resume -Supervision -Direct Assistant creating my BACB profile and applying for the credentials. What to ask on my job interviews -Everything to become a RBT. To me, ATCC is the most complete RBT training company!"
