Question 1

Is the course 100% online?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Everything is online — live classes via videoconference, recorded lessons on our platform, group study sessions, and chat support. You can study from anywhere with internet access.

Question 2

How long do I have to complete the course?

Accepted Answer

You have up to 180 days to complete the course, and no fewer than 5. That window is a BACB rule for the 2026 40-hour training, and both your start and end dates count.

Question 3

What if I need extra help or don't understand a topic?

Accepted Answer

You have unlimited access to live review sessions at no extra cost, daily chat support (8 AM – 11 PM ET), and group study sessions with instructors. We're with you every step of the way.

Question 4

Does the certificate meet BACB requirements?

Accepted Answer

Our program is designed to meet the 2026 training eligibility requirement for RBT certification. Your certificate includes everything the BACB asks for (your name and BACB ID, dates, total training time and the Responsible Trainer's details), and you upload it with your RBT application. Keep in mind that the BACB does not approve or endorse training providers: this training is offered independent of the BACB.

Question 5

Do I need prior experience in ABA?

Accepted Answer

No prior experience is needed to enroll! Our course is designed for beginners. To get certified, the BACB requires you to be 18 or older, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and pass a criminal background check and an abuse registry check.

Question 6

What's included in the $295 price?

Accepted Answer

Everything: the full 40-hour training, live classes with BCBA Yaima Larín, unlimited live reviews, group study, recorded classes available 24/7 for 45 days, daily chat support, free Trainer 4 Love practice questions, and your verifiable digital certificate.

Question 7

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request a full refund within 15 days of purchase, as long as you haven't completed the course or received your certificate. Email us your full name, the email you used to buy, and the purchase date; the Refund Policy has all the details.

Question 8

What happens after I complete the course?

Accepted Answer

When you finish the course, you receive your 40-hour certificate. Next, you complete your Initial Competency Assessment with a qualified BCBA, BCBA-D, or BCaBA at the ABA organization where you work (the BACB requires you, the assessor, and the client to be with the same organization), no more than 90 days before applying. You also get your Attestation form signed (age, education, and background and abuse registry checks), submit your RBT application to the BACB ($65), and, once approved, schedule your exam with Pearson VUE ($45). Our step-by-step guide and our team walk you through each step.

Question 9

Is the RBT exam in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

No. The BACB offers the RBT exam only in English, and the check-in at the Pearson VUE center is in English too — translators aren't allowed unless you have an approved accommodation. That's why we prepare you with the key ABA terms in English, and Trainer 4 Love lets you practice exam-style questions in English with a built-in Spanish translator.

Question 10

Does the course include the Initial Competency Assessment?

Accepted Answer

No. The Initial Competency Assessment is done after the 40 hours with a BCBA, BCBA-D, or BCaBA who has completed the 8-hour supervision training, works at the same organization as you and the client (or has a contract with it), and isn't related to you, subordinate to you, or employed by you. ABA 4 Love doesn't perform it, but our team points you to options and helps you get ready for it.

Question 11

How much does the whole certification process cost?

Accepted Answer

Plan for $295 for the course, $65 for the BACB application, $45 for each Pearson VUE exam appointment, and the competency assessment, whose cost varies by organization. Later, recertifying every 2 years costs $50. Fees can change, so check them before paying.

Question 12

I work. What if I can't attend the live classes at 6 PM ET?

Accepted Answer

No problem. Every class is recorded and stays available on the platform for 45 days, so you can study at your own pace, and you have up to 180 days to finish the 40 hours. You can also join the unlimited live review sessions whenever your schedule allows.

Question 13

Do I need to speak English well?

Accepted Answer

No. The classes are taught in Spanish, and we teach you the key ABA terms in English along the way. The RBT exam is only in English, so Trainer 4 Love lets you practice exam-style questions in English with a built-in Spanish translator.

Question 14

How fast can I finish?

Accepted Answer

The BACB requires the 40 hours to take at least 5 days and no more than 180, and both your start and end dates count. The live cycle runs Monday through Friday, 6–8 PM ET; with the recorded classes, you set your own pace within those limits.

Question 15

I took a 40-hour course before 2026. Does it still count?

Accepted Answer

Only if your certificate includes the BACB's 2026 statement (“This training program is designed to meet the 2026 training eligibility requirement for RBT certification…”). Trainings completed under the previous requirements don't count for applications submitted from January 1, 2026: you need to complete the full 2026 40-hour training again (there's no bridge course) and then the updated Initial Competency Assessment. If your application was already approved before January 1, 2026, that approval stays valid for its 12 months.
