BEHAVIOR ANALYST CERTIFICATION BOARD, INC.
TYPE 2 (APPROVED) CONTINUING EDUCATION (ACE)
SAMPLE SYLLABUS FORM

The purpose of the sample syllabus is to demonstrate that a prospective Type 2 (approved) continuing education provider can construct an event that comports with all of the BACB’s standards and policies regarding Type 2 continuing education events and instructors. The event described in the sample syllabus need not be an actual or completed event, but should be representative of events the provider will offer if approved by the BACB. Types of events that may qualify for Type 2 (approved) continuing education include, but are not limited to, workshops; seminars; tutorials; professional conference sessions (such as addresses, papers, symposia, and panel discussions); on-line or other distance education activities; and activities such as reading journal articles, provided that participants are required to respond actively to the materials (e.g., by answering written questions about them).

Approved Type 2 CE providers may also use this form for syllabi to be provided to participants in CE events, or for events that are being considered for Type 2 CE events by approved organization providers.
