VIRTUAL RBT INITIAL COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
Demonstrate your skills with a qualified BCBA through live interview, role-play, and a supervised client session.
Get StartedDocument review, Sorella onboarding and participation agreements, preparation instructions, and your live virtual assessment. After successful completion and eligibility verification, you receive your completed Initial Competency Assessment form and RBT Certification Application Attestation form.
Sorella Behavioral Solutions provides free, BCBA-led virtual social skills services. Your temporary agreement establishes the required organizational relationship with Sorella, the assessor, and the client. We select three tasks from items 6–14 for client demonstration; other tasks use role-play or interview where BACB permits. You are supervised throughout.
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE
Outside the Box Trainings provides an initial RBT competency assessment service. Completing your assessment with us does not establish an ongoing supervisory relationship.
Before your RBT certification can become active, you must have a qualified ongoing supervisor listed in your BACB account.
If you pass your RBT examination without an ongoing supervisor on record, you will need to arrange supervision and have your supervisor add you under the Supervisees tab in their BACB account.
Outside the Box Trainings does not provide ongoing RBT supervision as part of the competency assessment service.
STEP 1 · PAYMENT
Finish an eligible 40-hour RBT training first—it can be through OTB or another provider.
DISCOUNTED RATE
$200Regular price: $250 · Save $50
Pay $200 through November 30, 2026. The regular $250 rate begins December 1, 2026.
Bring your own background screening, including child-abuse screening, and upload it with your documents.
Already have a background check from an ABA agency, school, or another employer? Submit it for review. It must include child-abuse screening; we’ll confirm whether your documentation meets our requirements.
Need a new report? Start with one of these providers. Basic criminal checks may require a separate child-abuse clearance. Confirm coverage for your state and the total price before paying.
Unsure what to submit? Ask us before purchasing a report.
STEP 2 · TWO REQUIRED FORMS
Both forms are required. Submitting your documents is only the first part. You must also review, sign, and submit your applicant agreement.
Complete the documentation form, upload your required documents, and submit the form. Then complete Form 2 below.
Review your applicant agreement, complete your signature, and submit it. This is a separate required form—not part of the document upload.
Before you book: Make sure you have submitted Form 1 and signed and submitted Form 2. We’ll review both before confirming you’re ready to schedule.
STEP 3 · SCHEDULING
Once your payment is complete and both required forms—your documentation and signed agreement—have been reviewed, choose your appointment below.
Typically after 6 p.m. Eastern. Participating children attend school during the day and receive virtual social skills services in the evening. School-day-off and occasional weekend appointments may be available—ask us to confirm.
