Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. We will explore how to understand, explain, describe, and predict human behavior. Completion of the certificate will prepare you to gain employment in an accredited institution that serves developmentally disabled individuals. Whether you are looking for a path to work in human services or want to obtain a degree in psychology, this certificate will help you gain practical experience in the field.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a six percent increase in behavioral health technician jobs between 2016 and 2026. Behavioral technicians who graduate with a college degree in psychology or counseling have higher earning potential over the course of their careers. Locally, our autism services providers are severely understaffed and have requested our help in meeting the needs of this population.
