BCBA (national) / Georgia Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)

32hours / 2-year renewal cycle

No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study

Mandated topics

Ethics — 4 hBACB requirement: at least 4 CEUs in ethics per 2-year recertification cycle.
Supervision — 3 hBACB requirement of at least 3 supervision CEUs applies only to certificants who supervise or serve as a coordinator; BACB is increasing this in a future cycle, so verify the current BACB standard at renewal.

Home study: No state cap. BACB learning CEUs may be earned via recorded/online (asynchronous) BACB ACE-approved events; none are required to be live/synchronous.

Board notes: Georgia licenses behavior analysts through the separate Georgia Behavior Analyst Licensing Board (Dept 75 rules, Chapter 75-5), NOT the Composite Board. Licensure and renewal are contingent on holding and maintaining ACTIVE BACB certification (BCBA), and Georgia codifies no independent state CE chapter; CE therefore equals the BACB certification-maintenance standard of 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle (at least 4 ethics, and at least 3 supervision CEUs for those who supervise). BACB requirements are subject to periodic revision (e.g., planned supervision-CEU changes), so the governing figures are whatever BACB currently mandates.
