    A Free Path Into the Field

    Every other 40-hour RBT course charges $99 to $300+. We don't. The cost of training shouldn't decide who becomes a behavior technician.

    100% free — always

    No credit card. No trial. No paid tier. The full 40 hours is free because the cost of training shouldn't decide who gets to do this work.

    Built by a working BCBA

    Tyler designed every module from real clinic experience supervising RBTs. You learn what the exam tests and what actually matters on day one in a session.

    BACB-aligned curriculum

    The course covers the full RBT Task List and meets the BACB's 40-hour training requirement. Get your certificate of completion and move toward the exam.

    Works on any device

    Phone, tablet, laptop. Pause anywhere. Resume anywhere. Most BTs finish in 2–4 weeks at their own pace, on their own schedule.
