RBT Training
Equip trainees to translate their ABA knowledge to real-life practice with our unique 40 hour RBT™ training
We prioritize evidence-based practices for our learners, so why don’t we do the same for RBT training?
Research suggests that behavioral skills training is more effective than traditional didactic training for teaching ABA teaching procedures. Despite this, most online 40-hour RBT™ training courses are almost entirely lecture-based!
In light of the need for quality solutions for staff training, we leveraged all the technology that Hi Rasmus has to offer and designed the first-ever 40-hour RBT™ training course that is online, interactive, and behavioral skills training-based. Use those valuable 40 hours to equip your RBTs to practice competently once they’re done.
BST Based
Candidates can engage in the training on the go on any device using the Hi Rasmus app. Active student responses are required throughout the course to intermittently check for understanding.
Interactive, not passive
Candidates are required to put their skills to action and receive feedback through asynchronous video and file uploads, smart task lists, and built in chats.
