Maintain Your RBT Credential with Voluntary Inactive Status

The "voluntary inactive" status offered by the BACB for RBTs allows them to take a break from their work without losing their credential.

When RBTs are not currently working but wish to retain their credential, they have the option to go on "voluntary inactive" status. This status serves an important purpose in the field of behavior analysis.

The Purpose of "Voluntary Inactive" Status

The purpose of the "voluntary inactive" status offered by the BACB for RBTs is to allow RBTs to take a break from their work without losing their credential. This status acknowledges that RBTs may have personal or professional reasons for temporarily stepping away from their role. It ensures that they can resume their work as an RBT in the future without having to go through the entire certification process again.

By providing this option, the BACB recognizes the importance of supporting RBTs in maintaining their qualification while giving them the flexibility to take a pause in their career. This status is designed to help RBTs navigate life changes or career transitions without the added stress of losing their hard-earned credential.
