BCBA

BCBA (national) / Hawaii Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)
32hours / 2-year renewal cycle
No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study
Mandated topics
  • Ethics — 4 h
  • Supervision — 3 hOnly required for BACB certificants who supervise others / hold supervisor status

Home study: Recorded/online BACB ACE CEUs broadly allowed; no state cap.

Board notes: Hawaii licenses behavior analysts (DCCA/PVL) and ties renewal to maintaining active BACB certification rather than imposing separate state CE hours. The applicable standard is therefore the BACB requirement of 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle, including 4 ethics CEUs (plus 3 supervision CEUs for those who supervise). Hawaii LBA licenses renew by December 31 of odd-numbered years (2026-2027 period renewals accepted Nov 3-Dec 31, 2025).
