Supervision — 3 hBACB standard: 3 supervision CEUs required only of certificants who provide supervision.

Home study: No state cap. BACB permits online/recorded (self-instructional) Learning CEUs; no live/interactive requirement for BCBA recertification.

Board notes: Wisconsin licenses behavior analysts through DSPS (statutory licensure enacted 2010). The WI credential requires holding and maintaining current BACB certification and does not impose a separate state CE rule, so the applicable continuing-education standard is the BACB recertification requirement of 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle (4 ethics; 3 supervision if supervising). The Wisconsin behavior analyst credential renews Dec 15 of even-numbered years; the BACB recertification cycle runs 2 years from the certification date and is tracked separately by the BACB.
