## Florida RBT requirements

RBT is a national certification issued by the BACB, not by Florida. Here is what the BACB currently requires; your employer or state may add its own requirements.

01

### Be At Least 18 Years Old

You must be at least 18 and have a high school education or the equivalent when you apply.

02

### Complete 40-Hour Training

Complete a 40-hour training that meets the BACB's RBT 2026 40-Hour Training Requirements and Curriculum Outline, in no less than 5 and no more than 180 days. The BACB does not provide training or recommend programs; your training provider issues the certificate.

03

### Pass Background and Abuse Registry Checks

Pass a criminal background check and an abuse registry check within 180 days before you pay for your application. The BACB does not require fingerprinting, but your state or employer may.

04

### Pass the RBT Exam

After your application is approved, schedule the RBT exam with Pearson VUE. It is based on the BACB's RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.).

05

### Complete Competency Assessment

After the 40-hour training, complete the RBT Initial Competency Assessment within 90 days before you apply. The assessor cannot be related to, subordinate to, or employed by you.

06

### Maintain Certification

Receive ongoing supervision from an RBT Supervisor (a BCBA or BCaBA), follow the RBT Ethics Code, and recertify on time. The BACB is moving from annual to two-year recertification starting in 2026; check your date in the current RBT Handbook.

[Read the complete guide](/en/registered-behavior-technician-rbt-in-florida)

### Overview

RBT is a BACB certification for a supervised behavior-technician role, not a Florida license issued under Chapter 491. Florida law separately addresses recognition of behavior-analyst certification and preserves sole behavior-analysis practice from Chapter 491 when the person does not claim a license or protected title under that chapter.

### Steps to obtain it

1.  1
    
    #### Confirm basic eligibility
    
    Be at least 18, have at least a high-school education, and complete the required criminal-background and abuse-registry checks through an attesting certificant.
    
2.  2
    
    #### Complete training and assessment
    
    Complete a current 40-hour training in no fewer than 5 and no more than 180 days, then complete the current initial competency assessment no more than 90 days before applying.
    
3.  3
    
    #### Apply and pass the examination
    
    Use the BACB portal to submit the attestation, training certificate, and competency assessment. Take the RBT examination after authorization.
    

### Key requirements

Education

**High-school education or higher**

Training

**40 hours**The current training window is 5–180 days.

Practice model

**Ongoing supervision**

### Renewal and maintenance

The BACB changed RBT maintenance requirements in 2026. Certificants entering the new two-year cycle must maintain supervision and ethics compliance, earn 12 professional-development units during the cycle, and submit recertification through the BACB portal. Check the current handbook for the transition rule tied to your certification date.

### Before you apply

Do not rely on an older course description or recertification checklist. RBT training, assessment, and maintenance rules changed in 2026; verify the current forms before paying or applying.
