The International Behavior Therapist (IBT) and the Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT) are certifications obtained by those who routinely provide hands-on implementation of behavioral education, support and services designed by behavior analysts. These could be individuals supporting children in various settings including schools, specialized schools, therapy and rehabilitation centers, social care centers, and vocational & life skills training providers.
IBT and ABAT are two certifications that have gained international recognition for behavior therapists globally. At Pulse TLC, we understand that participants would like to approach the exam criteria flexibly. Therefore, with our dual ACP status with IBAO and QABA, participants have the advantage of choosing a certification path considering their own ability to fulfil the exam and competency assessment criteria.
Upon completing a 40-hour IBT and ABAT training at Pulse TLC, participants receive a certificate of completion for the coursework portion towards their certification journey. To certify with the respective board and earn the title of International Behavior Therapist or ABA Technician, participants must complete practical competency assessment tasks under the supervision of a behavior analyst (BCBA) to apply to either of the board exams.
Participants receive their IBT and ABAT training completion certificates as well as a KHDA attested certificate that enables them to seek placement as behavior therapist in various settings including schools and nurseries, centers for special education, long term care and rehabilitation providers.
The IBT and ABAT certifications attest that participants have undertaken competent behavior therapist training and are ready and able to provide effective, ethical, evidence-based behavioral therapy services in homes, schools, and community settings under the supervision of a qualified and certified behavior analyst. Please note, these certifications do not replace and are not considered as a healthcare or social worker license, or an academic degree.

Behavior Therapists (IBTs/ABATs) provide behavioral services in a variety of settings and to a variety of clients. Most behavior therapists work with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Developmental or other disabilities, and those who require additional support with language development, challenging behavior, daily life skills, social skills, and learning supports. Behavior therapists work typically hands-on as frontline therapists delivering behavioral services to clients or students.
Typically, behavior therapists work as part of a team of behavior analysts and other specialists supporting the behavioral and learning outcomes for clients. The behavior therapist's role is to implement behavioral supports designed and overseen by Behavior Analysts (BCBA or QBA or IBA).
