[@madypatrick3841]

Hi! I stumbled across your channel while researching RBT training! I just started my 40 hour training and have been watching all of your videos! In your "How to become a RBT" video you mentioned how you need to have a supervisor before you can take the exam. Do you need 5% supervised hours while you work in the field as an RBT? I am assuming your supervisor works for a different agency and you go to them? Do you continue to pay a supervisor every month while you work as an RBT? Sorry I'm confused! Thanks!

[@ABASource]

Hi! I was super confused too when I was where you are so don't worry haha. Do you need a supervisor while working in the field? The answer is yes, you should not have to pay for them as you will be working under them in the same agency not a different one. You pay for a supervisor (if you don't already have a supervisor which is the majority of us) before sitting for the RBT exam because you need to be registered under one in order to take it . You can also pay for an additional supervisor than just the one you work with if you are trying to accumulate hours at a faster pace to sit for your BCaBA. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@madypatrick3841]

@@ABASource Makes sense! So I assume it is just a flat fee for a supervisor in order for you to take the exam since that's all you need them for? They don't actaully have to supervise you in person? And then once you get hired somehwere you work under a supervisor so you no longer need the one that you had for the exam if I am understanding correctly? Thank you!!

Great video! What is the difference in terms of responsibilities between a BCaBA and a registered behavior technician?

[@TheMochaangel]

RBT would be considered step/role #1, GED or HS diploma required but please know that this role is very important. Consider it like a doctor (BCBA); nurse (BCaBa) and the daily hospital room nurse aide (RBT) that check vitals, assure patient eats and is daily doing well is the essential individual. BCBA requires grad school, BCaBA may be an undergraduate. ABA should be considered a practice of teach , assessing and considering behaviors and the person’s condition in their environment.

I am 19 yrs old and currently doing my rbt training just after my grade 12.. how can i apply for bcaba

[@evataylor-lopez9724]

Everyone around me is becoming a bcba and I’m the only one going for bcaba, it’s lonely and honestly debating if I should just go straight for bcba :( HELP lol

[@debiliciouse.2104]

Can one be a BCBA with a master's degree (special education) without being an RBT or BCABA? What is the process, please?

[@raidahsadaf6014]

Do the hours that we work as RBT count as restricted/unrestricted hours? How do we provide the proof that we have finished the hours?

[@ABASource]

Yes. You track your hours on an “experience tracker” which is an excel file created by the board you can find it on the BACB website. Your supervisor signs it and that is your proof.

[@MT-pf2tz]

Would you recommend becoming a BCaBA first then become a BCBA or just going straight into BCBA? I have my bachelors degree in psychology and I just started as an RBT.

[@LovingLifeasEmma]

My BCBA said it makes more sense to just go for BCBA if you think you want that because the testing by the BACB is the same, so you might as well go for that second degree in the meantime

[@ABASource]

I second that Emma! Thanks for helping me out 🤩

[@MT-pf2tz]

Behavior Works thank you all for the responses! I just got accepted into a masters program and am so excited. Do y’all have any idea what the salaries are like for BCBAs?
