Special Learning provides online PA IBHS training for Pennsylvania agencies: one pack covers ten staff for $890, paid once ($89 per seat), with 17 recorded sessions, six months of access per seat and a certificate of completion for each session a learner passes. Pennsylvania DHS lists trainings offered by a BACB Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) provider among the IBHS trainings that do not require Department review and approval, and Special Learning is a BACB ACE provider (OP-14-2437).
The Department's Process for Department Approval of Trainings Required by the IBHS Regulations says, “Prior to submitting training(s) for approval, the organization should review the list below to determine if the training is already considered approved by the Department.” Under “IBHS Trainings that Do Not Require Department Review and Approval,” it lists, word for word:
“Trainings offered by a Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) provider.”
The same list names trainings offered by the state (ODP, OCDEL, PA Key and PaTTAN), by SAMHSA, and trainings approved for continuing education by professional licensing or certification bodies. The hours themselves are set in 55 Pa. Code § 5240.73; our PA IBHS training requirements guide sets them out by role.
