IBAO continuing education category planner

Map documented IBT annual or first-cycle IBA continuing education by category.

Record the credit shown on your own evidence, then compare it with the handbook for your credential. This is a planning estimate, not an eligibility check, and it does not decide whether a course qualifies.

Compare your documented hours

For IBT, enter the hours from one year only and leave the IBA-only field blank. The page does not save or submit your numbers.

What to check next

The IBT handbook lists 4 CEUs per year: 1 ethics, 1 cultural diversity and awareness, and 2 ABA topics. The IBA handbook lists 24 CEUs for the first two-year cycle: 4 ethics, 4 supervision, 4 cultural diversity and awareness, and 12 ABA topics. Separate mentorship and supervision requirements may apply. Verify your own cycle and records with IBAO.

Find a recorded course

Compare individual sessions on our QABA and IBAO course shelf, where each listing shows its price and credit details. Check the specific course, category and certificate conditions before purchasing.

BACB continuing education is currently unavailable from Special Learning. Courses shown with QABA or IBAO credit offer only the credit specifically listed; those credits do not replace BACB continuing education.
