LBA

LBA (Nevada Licensed Behavior Analyst) / BCBA (national credential)

32hours / 2-year renewal cycle

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

Mandated topics

Ethics (BACB requirement) — 4 h
Supervision (BACB requirement) — 3 hRequired by BACB only for certificants who supervise or hold supervisor status.
Evidence-based suicide prevention and awareness (Nevada add-on) — 2 hRequired by NAC 641D.160 in addition to the BACB-prescribed CEUs; currently codified and in effect (July 2026).

Home study: No state cap. BACB permits recorded/online (e-learning) CEUs; NAC 641D adds no live/interactive minimum.

Board notes: Behavior analysts are licensed by the Nevada Applied Behavior Analysis Board under NAC Chapter 641D (a dedicated board, nvababoard.org) - NOT the Board of Psychological Examiners. NAC 641D.090 adopts the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) continuing-education standard by reference: 32 CEUs per 2-yr recertification cycle including 4 ethics CEUs (and 3 supervision CEUs for those with supervisor status). NAC 641D.160 layers on an additional Nevada requirement of at least 2 hours of evidence-based suicide prevention and awareness (applies to both LBA and Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst), making the effective Nevada minimum 34 hours. Prior speculation that the 2-hr suicide requirement would sunset 6/30/26 is not reflected in the current NAC text, which still mandates it. No state live/interactive requirement or home-study cap beyond BACB rules.
