BCBA

BCBA (national BACB certification; no separate Maine state license)
32hours / 2-year renewal cycle
No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study
Mandated topics
  • Ethics — 4 hBACB standard: 4 ethics CEUs per 2-year recertification cycle.
  • Supervision — 3 hBACB standard: 3 supervision CEUs per cycle, required only for certificants who supervise others or supervise trainees/RBTs.

Home study: No state cap. BACB allows learning, teaching, and other CEU types; recorded/online BACB-authorized ACE CEUs are broadly accepted with no live/synchronous minimum.

Board notes: Maine does not license or register behavior analysts and has no state board or state CE rule for them; there is no state statute/regulation to correct against. In practice the national BACB certification standard governs: 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle including 4 ethics and 3 supervision (for supervisors); BCaBA is 20 CEUs. BCBA certification is effectively mandatory in Maine because insurers and MaineCare (Section 28) require it for ABA reimbursement.
