Continuing Education (CEUs) and Professional Development Units (PDUs)
CEUs – Who needs them?
- BCBA (32 hours required per two years)
- BCaBA (20 hours required in addition to at least 5% supervision)
Why they’re required
- Maintain certification
- Learn updated ABA strategies
- Stay ethical and compliant
- Meet licensure requirements (some states)
Typical CEU requirements (BACB)
- BCBA: 32 CEUs every 2 years
- Must include:
- 4 ethics CEUs
- 3 supervision CEUs (if supervising RBTs)
- RBTs will eventually need 12 Professional Development Units (PDUs)
- Over a 2-year recertification cycle
- This replaces the annual competency-assessment-only model
This comes from the updated proposed RBT certification standards:
- 12 Professional Development Units (PDUs) required during each two-year cycle
- RBTs must “ensure you have completed the 12 PDUs before your recertification date
- Guidance documents confirm 12 hours of professional development units during their two-year recertification cycle
