How many CE hours does a BCBA need in Georgia?
A BCBA must complete 32 CE / continuing-education hours every 2 years in Georgia. That total includes 4 hours of ethics.
Are there required CE topics for BCBA in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia requires the following CE topics for BCBA: Ethics (4 h); Supervision (3 h).
Can BCBA CE be completed online in Georgia?
Generally yes — Georgia does not require live or interactive hours for BCBA, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: No state cap. BACB learning CEUs may be earned via recorded/online (asynchronous) BACB ACE-approved events; none are required to be live/synchronous..
What else should BCBA renewals know in Georgia?
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). Georgia Rule 135-9 (Composite Board CE) does not apply. Chapter 75-5 requires that the licensee 'maintains active status as a board certified behavior analyst through Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)' and contains no independent state CE hour requirement. BACB 2027 requirements (effective January 1, 2027) keep the total at 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle with 4 ethics CEUs, but RAISE the supervision CEU minimum from 3 to 4 for certificants who supervise; as of March 2025 the ethics CEU definition was expanded to include events on cultural/contextual responsiveness.
