Online RBT Competency Assessment Package

After completing any 40-hour RBT training course (2nd Ed.), students are eligible for the RBT Competency Assessment. There is no expiration date on your 40-hour RBT training course. As long as your Certificate of Completion says "2nd Edition", you are able to use it to take your Competency Assessment.

Most students complete their Competency Assessment during a 2-hour online meeting with their BCBA.

The assessment will be administered by Katie Cook, a certified BCBA, as required by the BACB (Certification# 1-12-10219). Check out the 5-star reviews above. 

The assessment involves direct-observation of all competencies listed on the RBT Task List. Competencies will be evaluated online via “role-playing” (acting out skills and tasks with the instructor) during your online video meeting with your BCBA.                           

Here is a link to the  20 Competencies covered in the assessment. 

You are guaranteed to be offered to take the Competency Assessment as many times as you need to pass for free. No additional fees are required.  If the RBT fails to demonstrate competency in one or more of the tasks, the applicant will receive a “not passed” qualification on just those Competencies and a second meeting will be scheduled to repeat just those Competencies at no cost. Students will not be required to retake the entire Competency Assessment, only those few competencies that were not passed the first time. The assessor will provide performance feedback at the end of the assessment session and the applicant will be allowed to test again no earlier than the following day; this process may be repeated until all competencies are demonstrated. (NO retake fees apply).

Yes, your BCBA will provide the necessary signature & background check approval required by the BACB on the RBT application in the BACB Gateway.

Yes, once your Competency Assessment is completed, your BCBA will assist you in completing your RBT application on the BACB Gateway, spending as much time is necessary to ensure it is done correctly. This results in ATCC students having a 100% application approval rate with their RBT applications on the BACB Gateway.
