Education Tracking for RBT®
Tracking Your PDUs (Education Tracking)
Starting in 2026, the BACB® requires RBTs to complete 12 Professional Development Units — or PDUs — every two years as part of recertification. Education Tracking in your BehaviorLive account is where you monitor your PDU progress and log your completed training.
1: Check Your Eligibility
Education Tracking for RBTs is available for certifications dated 2026 or later. If your most recent RBT certification date is before 2026, the system will display an informational message — the PDU requirement does not apply to your current certification cycle yet.
Once your certification is renewed in 2026 or after, update your certification date in your account and Education Tracking will become fully active.
📌 Note: Not sure when your certification was issued? Check your BACB account or your most recent certificate for your certification date.
2: Set Up Your Certification Date
Before Education Tracking can calculate your progress, you need to set your most recent certification date. This tells the system when your current certification cycle began and when your renewal is due.
| 1 | Log in to your BehaviorLive account. |
| 2 | Click on your name in the upper right of the screen and select “CEU History” from the dropdown menu. Then select the “Certifications” tab. |
| 3 | Click the “Add Certification” button on the top right |
| 4 | Locate your RBT certification entry and enter your most recent certification date. This is the date your current certification cycle started — not your original certification date.
|
| 5 | Click the “Add” button to save your certification record. |
3: Access Education Tracking
| 1 | From My Account, select the “CEU History”. |
| 2 | Click the “Education Tracking” tab. |
| 3 | In the dropdown, select Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (for RBT®s). |
You will see a simplified progress tracker showing your progress toward the 12 PDUs required for recertification, along with your PDU history below it.
4: Add a Manual PDU Entry
To log a PDU earned outside of BehaviorLive:
| 1 | On the Education Tracking page, click the Add Education button. |
| 2 | Fill in the required fields — including activity type, date, and number of PDUs. |
| 3 | Upload supporting documentation as a PDF if you have it. |
| 4 | Save the entry. It will appear in your PDU history labeled as a third-party entry. |
📌 Note: For BehaviorLive events to appear in your PDU history, you must first generate your certificate for that event from the event page. Once generated, it will appear in your Education Tracking history automatically.
