If you’re looking to become a Registered Behavior Technician® (RBT®) or need to complete your required 40-hour RBT training, staying current with BACB requirements is essential. At ABA Courses, we’re excited to introduce the 3rd Edition of our 40-Hour RBT Training, in Spanish and English, fully updated to align with the new RBT Task List (2nd Edition) and designed to better prepare you for real-world applied behavior analysis (ABA) work.
This update isn’t just a refresh — it’s a major upgrade that makes learning clearer, more practical, and more effective for today’s behavior technicians.
The biggest update to our 3rd Edition RBT training is full alignment with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®) requirements. The BACB periodically updates the RBT Task List to reflect current best practices in ABA, and our course has been carefully revised to align with these expectations.
