BCBA

BCBA (national BACB certification; no separate WV state license)
32hours / 2-year renewal cycle
No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study
Mandated topics
  • Ethics — 4 h
  • Supervision — 3 hOnly for certificants who supervise others or trainees.

Home study: No state cap. BACB allows Learning, Teaching, and other CEU types; recorded/online BACB ACE CEUs are broadly accepted with no live/in-person minimum.

Board notes: West Virginia does NOT license or otherwise regulate behavior analysts as of July 2026 (WV is absent from the BACB U.S. licensure list). Continuing education is therefore governed solely by the national BACB recertification standard: 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle, including 4 ethics CEUs and, for those who supervise, 3 supervision CEUs. These are national requirements, not a WV state rule.
