The Gap
Every ABA organization pays for it twice
The industry's standard training produces exam eligible employees, not competent ones. Your BCBAs get pulled into training duty every time a new technician struggles, and a single RBT turnover event costs approximately $15,000 to $23,000 in lost revenue alone. Buying outside training helps one cohort at a time, and you buy it again for every cohort. The organizations that solve this problem for good are the ones that own their training capacity.
What We Do
You name the trainer. We shape their training behaviors.
Your trainer can be an RBT you want developed into a lead or Mentor RBT, a midlevel technician, a BCaBA, or a BCBA. The Trainer Intensive runs 5 days for one trainer or 8 days for two, built on the complete Behavior Skills Training sequence: instruction, modeling, practice, and feedback. In the Supervised First Cohort, your trainer delivers our full 12 day, 60 hour BT training to up to 3 of your new hires while we coach on a fading schedule.
Every Tier Includes
Curriculum, credential, and expert delivery
The curriculum is yours outright. The complete 2026 edition transfers with every tier: the 12 day training plan, every form and checklist, and the trainer materials, with no annual license and no recurring fees. Your trainer earns a credential stamped with its curriculum edition and entered in the Bowsprit registry. Senior BCBA hours go where expertise matters: instruction, scoring decisions, and every assessment.
Our Guarantee
We shape to mastery, not to a clock
Where Bowsprit supervises the cohort, the pass guarantee holds: if a trainee completes the program and does not pass the RBT exam, you receive a full refund for that trainee. In every tier, a trainer who needs more days to reach criterion gets them at no additional cost. If a candidate is not right for the trainer role, we tell you plainly before they ever lead your staff.
Timeline
Foundations in 2 to 3 weeks. Full certification in 6 to 8.
Week 0 is kickoff and setup. The Trainer Intensive runs in weeks 1 and 2, and the Foundations tiers wrap there with the credential issued and the curriculum transferred. For Tier 3, the supervised cohort runs in weeks 3 to 5, followed by credentialing and certification in weeks 5 to 8. Timelines assume standard BACB processing.
