Become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst
This certificate provides a verified course sequence (VCS) to satisfy academic course requirements for candidates seeking to become a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA). The Behavioral Analyst Certification Board (BACB) has approved the following sequence as meeting the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the BCBA examination.
