You can progress through the sections using the next button, or skip back to something you want to view again.  It&#8217;s also easy to see what topics are yet to be covered.

Training that encourages, or even requires you to interact with the material is a more effective way to learn for most students.  Many of the lessons in the ATCC training include interactive elements.  In the above lesson students click each circle to learn more about recent changes to the RBT Credential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"609\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interactive-boxes.png?resize=609%2C362&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interactive-boxes.png?w=609&amp;ssl=1 609w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interactive-boxes.png?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interactive-boxes.png?resize=150%2C89&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interactive-boxes.png?resize=600%2C357&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this lesson students choose each type of behavior to be targeted for increase, to learn more.  You can select the cards in any order, so if you want to compare two behaviors you can do this easily.  For example, if you want understand the differences between &#8220;Attending and social referencing&#8221; and &#8220;Social skills&#8221; you can easily listen to one and then the other.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"examples\">Examples<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As an RBT you will have a specific role with your clients.  The examples used in the lessons support learning and align with the function of the RBT.  These examples will help you understand what will be expected of you in your position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/example1.png?resize=539%2C316&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/example1.png?w=539&amp;ssl=1 539w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/example1.png?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/example1.png?resize=150%2C88&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This lesson offers short examples of prompts an RBT might use.

The course is thorough and focused on what the BACB wants you to know.  It is one of the best options available to prepare you for the exam.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the Verbal Behavior Institute, the videos can be watched in any order and you can start and stop them so that the training fits in your schedule.  This training however has been professionally produced &#8211; and it shows.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The examples generally prepare students to work as an RBT in any setting.

In that time, she has served many roles such as school Psychologist, Case Manager, Clinical Director and Consultant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has designed ABA classrooms utilizing B.F. Skinner&#8217;s analysis of verbal behavior across several counties of New Jersey.  In addition, she has published research in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis on vocal production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Ms. Attanasio is VP of the Behavior Services Department for the Services for a NY-based not-for-profit organization which serves over 300 adults with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead instructor is Vivian Attanasio from New Jersey and we were able to find her in the BACB Certificant Registry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BACB-Credentials.jpg?resize=954%2C357&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BACB-Credentials.jpg?w=954&amp;ssl=1 954w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BACB-Credentials.jpg?resize=300%2C112&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BACB-Credentials.jpg?resize=768%2C287&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BACB-Credentials.jpg?resize=150%2C56&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the lessons, you will learn that Vivian has a passion for children. She clearly empathizes with the children she works with and strives to help others understand that they don\u2019t see the world in the same way.&nbsp; During the training, she reminds students that when things are written down about a learner the information stays in their file.&nbsp; She encourages her students to set an example and advocate for the children they work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the lessons are led by James O&#8217;Brien, MA, BCBA, NY-LBA.

The concepts she introduces aren\u2019t necessarily presented in a way that gives you context if you\u2019re unaware of the terms she\u2019s using, such as antecedent or consequence.&nbsp; She sometimes uses these terms before she\u2019s defined them which might be confusing for someone with no experience in ABA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more information watch our video review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Verbal Behavior Institute&#039;s 40 Hour RBT Training: Should you take it?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i7dtANyj9UY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-should-register-for-the-40-hour-training-through-vbi\">Who Should Register for the 40 Hour Training through VBI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the 40 hour RBT training offered through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinerbttraining.com\/\">Verbal Behavior Institute<\/a> right for you?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This training will be a good option for some people.&nbsp; If the format appeals to you this is certainly one of the better options we\u2019ve found.&nbsp; The flexibility of having user control over the videos and the ability to watch them in any order, or rewatch parts of them if you need to is a great feature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the quizzes are in the Exam Prep section which is separate from the training.  Some people might prefer a quiz after each of the lessons to test what they&#8217;ve learned.&nbsp; But for others the idea of taking quizzes throughout the training might add unnecessary stress.  Just know that you&#8217;ll have to navigate out of the training if you want to take the quiz after the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great resource is the downloadable materials.  This is perfect for taking notes or studying.&nbsp; She\u2019s put a lot of work into this training and it\u2019s worth the relatively small fee she\u2019s charging.  At $99 you get a lot of value in the training.  This is a good mid-level option for students on a budget who need more guidance than what the free training through the Autism Partnership Foundation training offers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sign Up<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Try Something Else<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You&#8217;re familiar with ABA terms and basic concepts.<\/td><td>You&#8217;re brand new to ABA and you don&#8217;t have time to watch the videos more than once (see below for recommendations).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You work or plan to work in a school environment.<\/td><td>You want an interactive training.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You&#8217;re a linear thinker who wants a training that strictly follows the BACB Task List.<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to ABA and you have the time, it might be good to start with the free training offered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/masteraba.com\/free-rbt-training\/\">Autism Partnership Foundation<\/a> (APF) to get some foundational knowledge of ABA and the terms, then take this training.&nbsp; I have a review of this training as well \u2013 and why you might not want to rely on the free training as your only training before taking the exam (read our <a href=\"https:\/\/masteraba.com\/free-rbt-training\/\">review<\/a>).

But there&#8217;s a reason this course is free.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of this non profit organization<a href=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipfoundation.org\/about\/\"> <\/a>is &#8220;Advancing effective methodology and behavior analytic treatment to improve outcomes of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.&#8221;  They do this by providing training in the field of ABA.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This organization has a clear vision of how ABA should be implemented and they use their training, particularly their free 40-hour RBT training as a way to share their vision.  In their <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Cm5fcSW1VQw\">marketing video<\/a> they promote their &#8220;extra&#8221; content in the training as going beyond what the BACB requires for certification, however what this actually does is take time away from teaching the items that are on the task list.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we took their training we were shocked at how much training time was used to promote what they call the &#8220;Autism Partnership Method&#8221; or &#8220;Progressive ABA.&#8221;  Although we didn&#8217;t disagree with much of what they&#8217;re teaching, it certainly isn&#8217;t the best training to prepare you for the RBT exam, and often the message they&#8217;re sharing about how the field of ABA needs to change is something an RBT will have little to no influence in changing, especially when they&#8217;re just starting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their marketing video they also sound surprised that anyone would charge for access to training.  However it takes time and money to create a quality training program and it&#8217;s unreasonable to expect anyone to provide training without recouping that investment.  The Autism Partnership Foundation charges for all their other courses.  There&#8217;s a reason this one is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free-40-hour-training-from-the-autism-partnership-foundation\">Free 40-Hour Training from the Autism Partnership Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Autism Partnership Foundation provides a training that meets the requirements for RBT certification through the BACB.  You can access their training through the <a href=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipfoundation.org\/courses\/rbt\/\">Autism Partnership Foundation<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training consists of 69 videos, each with a required quiz at the end (except for the last lesson which doesn&#8217;t have a quiz).  Each lesson features a recording of a presenter at a podium with a PowerPoint presentation.  The training is a recording of an in-person training they had provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the training they caution students that the 40 hour training isn&#8217;t enough.  It&#8217;s true that any 40 hour training will likely leave students unprepared for their first day as an RBT even if they pass the exam and competency assessment.  However this training spends so much time talking about the Autism Partnership Method and what they term Progressive ABA that students may be left unprepared to take the exam itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training itself is a recording of an in-person training they offered.  The video shows both the speaker and the PowerPoint presentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"715\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Progressive-aba-2.jpg?resize=715%2C266&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2163\" style=\"width:536px;height:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Progressive-aba-2.jpg?w=715&amp;ssl=1 715w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Progressive-aba-2.jpg?resize=300%2C112&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Progressive-aba-2.jpg?resize=150%2C56&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masteraba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Progressive-aba-2.jpg?resize=600%2C223&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They are very clear about which topics are on the BACB task list and which are part of what they call the Autism Partnership Method.  But this also makes it obvious how much of the presentation is dedicated to their own topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lessons are presented in a logical order that assumes the student doesn&#8217;t have prior knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) concepts.  This is important if you&#8217;re new the field and aren&#8217;t familiar with the seemingly endless terms and acronyms used in ABA.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first 5 lessons provide an overview of ABA and ABA programs.  During this section students are introduced to the core beliefs of the Autism Partnership Foundation and what they term the Autism Partnership Method or Progressive ABA.  This information is not required by the BACB and is at the core of why APF provides this training for free.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 40-hour training from APF was the least flexible of all the options we looked at.  When taking the training users aren&#8217;t able to listen to segments of the videos again without rewatching it from the beginning. Students also must watch the videos in order and are unable to continue until they&#8217;ve taken the quiz at the end of the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a complete review and demonstration of the training watch our video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Can you really get the 40-hour RBT training for free?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wY_SoK5aA_g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-we-love-about-the-free-40-hour-training\">What We Love about the Free 40-Hour Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many training options available for the 40-hour course requirement, the training provided by the Autism Partnership Foundation has some important benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>It&#8217;s free.  Regardless of the limitations of the training, it&#8217;s hard to beat free.  Even if you choose to take this as a supplement to other training, that&#8217;s easy to do because this is free.  And oh, did we mention its FREE?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They have an honorable goal.  Additionally their mission of elevating the knowledge of individuals entering the field is commendable.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They map what they&#8217;re teaching to the RBT task list.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The presentations clearly indicate the section of the task list the subject applies but also lets students know when the topic is strictly concerning the Autism Partnership method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipfoundation.org\/courses\/rbt\/\" style=\"border-radius:14px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take the Training<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-could-be-improved-with-the-training-from-the-autism-partnership-foundation\">What Could be Improved with the Training from the Autism Partnership Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, there is much room for improvement with this training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>This training alone probably won&#8217;t prepare someone new to the field of ABA for the RBT exam on its own. The amount of time they spend spreading their own message detracts from time that should be spent covering the material students are required to know.  This information should be provided as an addendum or supplement to training that covers what the BACB requires prospective RBT candidates to know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lack of controls is also something that might be difficult to handle.  With each video taking over an hour to watch it&#8217;s hard to stick with each lesson in its entirety.  However if you get pulled away and you end up logged out of their system you&#8217;ll have to start the lesson over from the beginning.  For students who want to take notes as you go, you&#8217;ll need to be sure to pause the video because you won&#8217;t be able to rewatch something you missed without starting from the beginning.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The delivery of the material is fine, but it&#8217;s not interactive and simply not that engaging.  But then it&#8217;s free so it&#8217;s reasonable quality for the price.  Just know that if you don&#8217;t do well listening to lectures this might not be the training for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-the-autism-partnership-foundation-provide-the-40-hour-training-for-free\">How Can the Autism Partnership Foundation Provide the 40-Hour Training for Free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Few, if any, organizations have the resources to provide quality training for free. In their marketing video Justin Leaf, Director of Training and Co-Director of Research, says he&#8217;s &#8220;had it&#8221; with people charging for this training.  Yet how can anyone offer so much content for free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"FREE RBT TRAINING!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_1Pf2WeBaE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things you should know about how and why they are offering the 40-hour RBT training for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>The training is a recording of an in-person training they did.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are a non-profit organization which is eligible for donations and grants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They have a clear message they are conveying through the training that isn&#8217;t directly related to the BACB requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recording-of-in-person-training\">Recording of In-Person Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Autism Partnership Foundation provides in-person training and workshops.  The free 40-hour online RBT training is a recording of one of these trainings.  It&#8217;s unclear if the people who attended in-person paid for the training, but the end result is that the training consists of a presenter at a podium with PowerPoint slides.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, it lacks many of the features other online courses offer such as downloadable resources or interactive elements.  However, this is a key reason they are able to provide this training for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"non-profit-organization\">Non-Profit Organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a non-profit organization they are able to accept donations and qualify for grants other organization can&#8217;t get.  This allows them to operate by getting money from donors and grantors instead of students.  For students who would struggle to pay the $99+ other companies charge for training, this can be a game-changer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"autism-partnership-foundation-message\">Autism Partnership Foundation Message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant portion of the training is spent talking about how the Autism Partnership Foundation would like ABA services to be provided.  An entire lesson (over an hour) is spent discussing &#8220;bad ABA&#8221; and how the &#8220;Autism Partnership Method&#8221; or &#8220;Progressive ABA&#8221; is the solution.  This theme carries throughout the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we aren&#8217;t affiliated with the APF in any way, and therefore don&#8217;t have any specific knowledge about why they created this training for free, it seems clear that the purpose of providing the training for free is to share this message with as many people as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we agree with much of what they say, using this training as a means to spread the message takes valuable time away from the topics required by the BACB.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-you-take-the-free-40-hour-training\">Should You Take the Free 40-Hour Training?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line.  It might seem like an easy decision to go with the free training, but it&#8217;s not for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sign Up<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Try Something Different<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You can&#8217;t afford other training options<\/td><td>You have at least $99 you can invest in a different training<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You want to take this training in addition to other training<\/td><td>You are looking for a training focused on the RBT task list and what the BACB expects you to learn<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You feel confident in passing the exam even if much of the training is focused on topics not on the task list<\/td><td>You don&#8217;t learn well from lectures<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You are researching perspectives on the field of ABA<\/td><td>You don&#8217;t have at least 2 hour blocks to commit to training<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This training is perfect if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Can&#8217;t afford $99 for one of the other training options and you are confident you can study sufficiently on your own to pass the exam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have prior experience with ABA and simply need to meet the 40-hour training requirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan to take this in addition to other training to get multiple perspectives and\/or additional reinforcement of the material.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for a different option if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Need the 40-hour training to fully prepare you for the exam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t have at least 2 hour blocks that you can dedicate to watching the lectures.
