This Continuing Education Course is based on the book 25 Essential Skills & Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst by Dr. Jon Bailey and Dr. Mary Burch.  Bailey and Burch present five basic skills and strategy areas that identify 25 Skills that professional behavior analysts need to acquire. This course involves reading the book and taking a 50-question online test. You must achieve at least 80% correct. This course allows for three opportunities to meet criterion. If 80% correct is not achieved by the third attempt, another attempt cannot be made for 2 days (e-mail support@bds.com to request a gratis 3 month license after 2 days have lapsed).

Please note that this is a read-and-test model CE course with a 60 minute limit to complete the exam (per attempt). Three attempts are available to obtain a minimum of 80% correct during the initial access period. Unlike many of our other courses, this is NOT comprised of a series of fluency-based learning exercises.
