During 2006, 72 candidates were tested outside the United States at four sites in Canada, 3 sites in Ireland, and 1 site each in France, Sweden, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Taiwan. The BACB currently has 214 international certificants. Over the past year, the BACB has worked with Associations for Behavior Analysis in Canada and Spain to develop time-limited alternative pathways for behavior analysts to qualify for examination. We realize university education approaches will vary from country to country, and we may need to work together to mesh BACB requirements with the educational systems of individual countries. Last spring I was honored to visit Taiwan and Japan where I presented at conferences and met with university and government officials. These activities were sponsored by SEEK Education as part of an effort to foster the application of behavior analysis in Asia. I also traveled to Milan this past summer to present at the European Association for Behavior Analysis’ conference. My special thanks to Director Gina Green who substituted for me at my EABA conference presentations while I was researching Italian surgical procedures.
