RBT training that fits the school year.

Give each paraprofessional, instructional aide, or behavior technician their own self-paced 40-hour RBT course. Staff study around the school day, and your district can see who is progressing toward completion.

Training for schools and districts.

Less scheduling.
Clear progress.

Fits the school calendar.

Staff study on their own schedule, in short sessions between duties or over breaks. Each person’s 180-day completion window starts when they begin training, not when you buy, so you can purchase seats ahead of PD days or summer. Plan training across at least 5 calendar days, such as a PD week or a few afternoons.

One seat per staff member.

Assign each seat by email, whenever you know who will use it. If someone leaves before 10 credited hours and hasn’t completed the course, you can reassign their seat once at no charge. The new learner starts from the beginning.

Progress your district can see.

Your dashboard shows credited hours, lessons completed, completion dates, certificate status, and an exam-readiness estimate for each staff member. Individual answers stay private.

Built for special education teams.

Competency assessment with your BCBA.

After the course, each staff member completes the Initial Competency Assessment with your district’s BCBA or another qualified assessor. A printable prep sheet shows each person’s weaker areas, so the assessor can plan the observation.

No student information.

Nothing in the course requires student or client information. Every activity uses fictional cases.

Built around training, not billing.

Billing estimates are off unless you turn them on, so your dashboard shows training progress, exam readiness, and completion dates.

Plan your seats.

Your price band counts every seat you’ve purchased. Once you reach a band, later orders keep it, even for a single seat. One seat per learner. If someone leaves before 10 credited hours and hasn’t completed the course, you can reassign their seat once at no charge, and the new learner starts from the beginning. Credited hours are active lesson time that counts toward the 40.

Questions from schools.

Who can take the course?

Anyone your district wants to train toward the RBT credential, such as paraprofessionals, instructional aides, and behavior technicians. The BACB sets the other requirements for RBT certification, including eligibility, the competency assessment, and the exam.

Can we buy seats before the school year or PD days?

Yes. Unassigned seats stay in your seat manager until you assign them, and each staff member’s 180-day window starts only when they begin training.

Can we pay with a purchase order?

Yes. Choose “Request an invoice” when you order seats. We send you an invoice (with our invoice number). If your district uses purchase orders, add your PO number and we’ll print it on the invoice. We email the invoice to your billing contact. It’s due within 30 days (Net 30), and your billing team can pay online by card or the other methods shown on the invoice. Need a W-9? Contact us and we’ll send one.

What can the district see?

The seat manager shows assignments, credited hours, lesson progress, completion dates, and certificate status, plus each staff member’s exam-readiness estimate, scores by content area (and by task on the competency-assessment prep sheet), weekly activity, and certification steps. Individual answers, question text, and detailed learning records stay private. Staff can download and share their own certificates.

Do staff enter any student information?

No. Nothing in the course requires student or client information. Every activity uses fictional cases.

Who conducts the competency assessment?

A BCBA or other qualified assessor, such as your district’s BCBA, conducts and scores it using the BACB’s current requirements. Meridian’s prep sheet helps the assessor decide what to observe first.

What if someone leaves before finishing?

You can release their seat once and assign it to someone new, as long as they’re under 10 credited hours and haven’t completed the course. Because seats can be reassigned, purchases are final, including unused seats. We’ll correct any duplicate charge or billing error.

Does this include exam preparation?

Yes. Each seat includes 30 days of the Practice plan, starting when the staff member completes the course. There’s nothing to cancel.
