The standards document below provides the necessary information for supervisors and trainees to ensure that all experience hours are compliant with the Experience Standards.

Because BACB standards may change over time, supervisors and trainees are responsible for being knowledgeable about current information from the BACB website, BACB newsletters, and the online table of recent and upcoming changes to ensure that accrued experience hours will qualify at the time of application. The table from the most recent newsletter has been copied for your review below (updated 02/21/21).

Please be aware that regardless of when the hours were earned, applicants who apply for BCBA certification on or after January 1, 2022 must meet the 2022 BACB Fieldwork requirements. The eligibility requirements are also listed below.

(please see https://www.bacb.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2022-BCBA-Fieldwork-Requirements_200828.pdf for the 2022 standards).
