Board Certified Behavior Analyst CPD Requirements in France

Board Certified Behavior Analysts in France follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Behavior analysis / BCBA is NOT a statutorily regulated profession or protected title in France. There is no French license, register, or governing board for behavior analysts. 'BCBA' is a private, voluntary certification issued by the US-based Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB); any continuing-education obligations attached to it are contractual requirements of that private certification (BACB CEUs), not French statutory CPD. French practitioners delivering ABA typically do so under other titles (e.g., psychologue) whose rules then apply.

France does not mandate specific CE subjects for Board Certified Behavior Analyst beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.

Generally yes — France does not require live or interactive hours for Board Certified Behavior Analyst, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: Not applicable - profession not regulated in France (any CEU obligation is a private BACB certification rule, not French law).

No French regulation of behavior analysis; the BACB withdrew international certification eligibility outside the US/Canada (phase-out through 2025-2026), so BCBA is not a recognized regulated credential in France. Included only to record that it is unregulated under French law.
