BCBA

BCBA (national) / New Jersey Licensed Applied Behavior Analyst
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 if the certificant supervises others (BACB supervisor CEU requirement)

Home study: Recorded/online BACB ACE CEUs are broadly allowed; no state-imposed CE-format cap.

Board notes: New Jersey enacted behavior-analyst licensure in 2019 and licenses practitioners through the NJ State Board of Applied Behavior Analyst Examiners (Division of Consumer Affairs). Renewal is tied to maintaining current BACB certification, so continuing education effectively follows the national BACB recertification standard: 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle including 4 ethics CEUs, plus 3 supervision CEUs for those who supervise. NJ does not publish a separate CE-hour rule beyond the BACB baseline.
