Board Certified Behavior Analysts earn free CEUs every week through Behaviorist Book Club.

Understanding BACB CEU Requirements for BCBAs
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board mandates specific continuing education to maintain your BCBA certification. Here is exactly what you need to know and how Behaviorist Book Club helps you meet every requirement.
32 Total CEUs Required Every Two Years
Total CEUs
Every BCBA must complete 32 continuing education units in each two-year certification cycle. These can be earned through workshops, conferences, online courses, and organized study groups like our weekly book discussions.
Ethics CEUs
At least 4 of your 32 CEUs must cover ethics and professional conduct. Ethics sessions typically cost $50-150 elsewhere. We offer free ethics CEUs regularly, covering the BACB ethics code, boundary issues, informed consent, and real-world dilemmas.
Supervision CEUs
If you supervise RBTs or BCBA trainees, you need at least 3 supervision-focused CEUs per cycle. Our supervision sessions cover performance feedback, building supervision systems, training protocols, and managing difficult supervision situations.
Type 2 CEUs: All sessions at Behaviorist Book Club provide Type 2 continuing education credits. Type 2 CEUs include workshops, presentations, webinars, and organized professional study groups. These fully count toward your 32-CEU requirement and are accepted by the BACB for certification maintenance.
The True Cost of BCBA CEUs (And How We Make Them Free)
Most BCBAs spend $800-1,500+ per certification cycle on continuing education. Ethics CEUs alone average $50-150 per credit. Supervision courses run $100-200. Conference attendance costs hundreds or thousands when you factor in travel, hotels, and registration fees.
Behaviorist Book Club is 100% free. We believe continuing education should be accessible to every BCBA, regardless of budget. Our weekly live sessions, on-demand replays, and specialized ethics and supervision content are all free, forever. No subscription fees, no upsells, no hidden costs.
How to Earn Free BCBA CEUs in 3 Steps

Attend the Live Discussion
Join the live Zoom session at the scheduled time. Sessions typically run 60-90 minutes and are led by experienced BCBAs and ABA professionals. Participate in the discussion, ask questions, and connect with other behavior analysts. The format is informal, conversational, and clinically relevant.
Receive Your CEU Certificate
After the session, your CEU certificate is emailed to you automatically. Each certificate includes the session date, topic, presenter, CEU type (Type 2), and credit amount. Save all certificates in a dedicated folder for BACB audit purposes. That’s it—you’ve earned your free BCBA CEU.
Specialized Free CEUs: Ethics, Supervision & RBT Content
We regularly offer CEUs in the high-cost, high-demand categories that BCBAs need most.
Free Ethics CEUs for BCBAs
Ethics CEUs are among the most expensive to purchase (often $50-150 per credit) and are mandatory for every BCBA. Our free ethics sessions cover the BACB Professional and Ethical Compliance Code, boundary issues, dual relationships, informed consent, confidentiality, and real-world ethical dilemmas.
You need 4 ethics CEUs per cycle. We typically offer 1-2 ethics sessions per month. Check the CEU library and filter by ethics to see all available sessions.
Free Supervision CEUs for BCBAs
If you supervise RBTs or BCBA trainees, the BACB requires 3 supervision CEUs per certification cycle. Our supervision-focused sessions cover performance feedback, effective training systems, supervision models, managing difficult supervision situations, and documentation best practices.
You need 3 supervision CEUs if you supervise. Supervision sessions are clearly marked in the CEU library so you can track your progress.
Free Professional Development for RBTs
While the BACB does not mandate CEUs for RBT renewal, our sessions are open to all Registered Behavior Technicians at no cost. Attending sessions builds clinical skills, prepares you for BCBA coursework, and provides documentation for professional development portfolios.
RBTs earn the same certificate as BCBAs. Use them to demonstrate ongoing professional growth and commitment to clinical excellence.

After you attend a live session, your CEU certificate is emailed to you automatically within 24 hours. The certificate includes the session date, topic, presenter name, CEU type (Type 2), and the number of credits earned. Save all certificates in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage.
