BCBA

BCBA (national) / Kentucky 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 standard: 4 of the 32 CEUs must address ethics
  • Supervision — 3 hBACB standard: 3 supervision CEUs required for certificants who supervise

Home study: No state cap. Recorded/online BACB ACE-provider CEUs are broadly accepted.

Board notes: Kentucky licenses behavior analysts through the Applied Behavior Analysts Licensing Board (KRS 319C, 201 KAR Chapter 43). The state renewal regulation 201 KAR 43:080 does NOT set its own CE hour count - Kentucky licensure is tied to holding current BACB certification, so the operative CE standard is the BACB requirement of 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle (including 4 ethics CEUs, plus 3 supervision CEUs for those who supervise). Applicants also attest to reviewing KY statutes/regulations.
