Overview

(BACB) approves providers of Type 2 Continuing
Education (CE) pursuant to the recertification
standards found at www.BACB.com. The goal of the
BACB Type 2 CE approval program is to make a wide
array of CE events available to BACB certificants.

Purpose of CE Events
BACB credentials are entry-level credentials,
indicating that individuals have met minimum
standards for training and experience in the
field of behavior analysis. However, all
certificants should acquire additional training
beyond the requirements for certification in an
effort to ensure they remain current and
competent in the practice of behavior analysis.
The purpose of the BACBs CE requirements is to
ensure that all certificants engage in training
and experience activities that will expand and
maintain their behavior-analytic skills. In
particular, the requirements for Type 2 approved
CE are set forth to ensure the availability of CE
events that are behavior-analytic in nature and
adhere to the BACBs quality standard

ACE Provider Roles and Responsibilities
An approved continuing education (ACE) provider
is an individual or organization that arranges
and oversees Type 2 continuing education events
for BACB certificants. The BACB does not review
or approve individual CE events. Approval as an
ACE provider is not a blanket approval of all
events provided by an individual or organization.
Once approved, it is the ACE providers
responsibility to ensure that they only offer
Type 2 CE for events that meet the requirements
outlined in this handbook. ACE providers may not
approve other individuals or organizations to
provide Type 2 CE. All prospective ACE providers
must apply directly to the BACB.
Criteria

courses, for BCBAs, or undergraduate or graduate,
college or university courses, for BCaBAs. Course
