Enroll in Behavior Technician (RBT®) Training

The Recruitment NYC Behavior Technician (RBT) Training is a six (6) day, 46.5-hour in-person program, taught in English and Spanish. On five (5) class days, the student completes the online 40-hour RBT training in class — designed to meet the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) 2026 training eligibility requirement for RBT certification. One (1) class day is a safety day. The online 40-hour training is provided by our partner training provider and is offered independent of the BACB.

Tuition includes the student’s seat in the online 40-hour training. In class, each student works through the online modules on their own login while the instructor teaches each module in English or Spanish and practices the skills with the students. The online platform records time spent in the modules; group review time does not count toward the 40 hours, so some students may finish part of a module at home. As required by the BACB, the online training must be completed in no fewer than five (5) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days.

Who may enroll: adults 18 or older who can read basic English — the online training is in English, and class instruction is in English and Spanish. Experience is not required. A high school diploma or equivalent is preferred but not required to enroll. Important: the BACB requires a high school diploma or equivalent to apply for RBT certification, so a student without one can complete this training but cannot become certified until they earn it.

Queens office (Rego Park), in person — six consecutive days, Monday–Saturday. Training days 9:30 AM–6:00 PM with a 30-minute lunch; safety day 10:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Module timing follows the online course and may shift slightly. The school may substitute instructors of equal qualification.

• The 40-hour training certificate is issued by the online training provider when the student completes all online modules. Recruitment NYC does not issue it.
• Students who complete the safety day receive the Recruitment NYC Certificate of Completion for CPR & First Aid awareness, Sexual Harassment Prevention and Mandated Reporting, to show employers.
• An official CPR card, where offered, is issued only by an authorized certifying body (such as the American Heart Association or American Red Cross) through a certified instructor.

• The $50.00 enrollment fee is paid at signing, secures the seat in the class, and is non-refundable under all circumstances.
• Payment options: (1) Pay in full — $750.00 at signing. (2) Weekly plan, $50 a week — $150.00 at signing ($50 enrollment fee + $100 first tuition payment); the $600.00 balance in twelve (12) weekly payments of $50.00. (3) Weekly plan, $25 a week — $150.00 at signing; the $600.00 balance in twenty-four (24) weekly payments of $25.00. Weekly payments are charged automatically to the card on file on the day of the week the student chooses, starting on the first such day after signing.
• Card on file: for the weekly plans, the student authorizes Recruitment NYC to keep the card used at signing on file (stored securely by Stripe) and to charge it as described above. A declined charge is retried up to three (3) more times, three (3) days apart, and the student is notified by email.
• The full $750.00 must be paid within six (6) months of signing. If it is not paid in full within six months, and the student has not made a written alternative payment arrangement with Recruitment NYC, the account may be referred to a collection agency. If the account is referred to a collection agency, the student agrees to pay, in addition to the unpaid balance, the collection costs Recruitment NYC actually incurs, up to 33.3% of the unpaid balance.
• Not attending? Tell us. A student who will not attend, or stops attending, must notify Recruitment NYC by phone at (347) 629-9916 or in writing (email, text or letter). The student owes the $50.00 enrollment fee plus tuition for each class day held before the notice date ($116.67 per day); notice before Day 1 means only the $50.00 fee is owed. Until we receive notice, the student stays enrolled and scheduled payments continue. Overpayments are refunded to the card within 14 days.
• The Recruitment NYC certificate of completion is issued only after all tuition and fees are paid in full. The 40-hour training certificate from the online provider is not withheld for non-payment.

• Attendance is required at all six (6) class days, in person at the Queens office.
• The student completes the online 40-hour training under their own login. Only time recorded in the online modules counts toward the 40 hours.
• A student who misses class time may finish the remaining online modules at home within the 180-day limit, or attend the matching class day in the next available class cycle.
• The safety day, including CPR and First Aid practice, is completed in person.

This program does not make the student a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT®). To earn the RBT credential, the student must also, after completing the 40-hour training, pass the RBT Initial Competency Assessment with a qualified supervisor, complete a criminal background check and abuse registry check, apply to the BACB, and pass the RBT examination. These steps are separate from this program. Recruitment NYC does not guarantee that the student will pass the examination, obtain the credential, or obtain employment.

The online 40-hour training is designed to meet the 2026 training eligibility requirement for RBT certification and is offered independent of the BACB. Recruitment NYC is not affiliated with the BACB. RBT® and BACB® are registered trademarks of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board®, Inc.

An official CPR credential (CPR card), where offered, is issued only by an authorized certifying body (such as the American Heart Association or American Red Cross) through a certified instructor.
