Free reference from Special Learning — BACB ACE Provider #OP-14-2437
BACB Certification Requirements (All BCBAs in West Virginia)
Regardless of state, your BACB certification renews on a 2-year cycle.
| Credential | Cycle | Total CEUs | Ethics | Supervision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCBA / BCBA-D | 2 years | 32 CEUs | 4 CEUs minimum | 3 CEUs (if you supervise) |
| BCaBA | 2 years | 20 CEUs | 4 CEUs minimum | — |
Starting July 1, 2026: All CE must be interactive video with assessment (minimum 3 questions per CEU). Article-and-quiz formats are no longer BACB-eligible.
State Licensure: West Virginia Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)
West Virginia requires a separate state license to practice as a behavior analyst. Your BACB certification and your West Virginia LBA license are two separate renewals — each with their own CE requirements and timelines.
Licensing body: State behavior analyst licensing board
State-specific requirements: LBA via Board of Examiners.
Important: CE earned for BACB renewal does not automatically satisfy West Virginia LBA renewal unless the state board accepts those hours. Always verify with the West Virginia licensing board before submitting CE for state renewal.
