What is an ACE Provider?
The Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) program exists to make a wide array of continuing education and professional development events available to Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®) certificants. ACE Providers are authorized by the BACB to provide Learning continuing education (CE) to BCBA® and BCaBA® certificants and professional development (PD) to RBT certificants.
The ACE Provider Verification Registry allows BACB certificants to search for organizations and individuals to verify ACE Provider status.
