Watch a recorded CEU and get credit

Recorded CEUs work on your schedule. Watch the video, answer the attendance checks as they appear, pass a short quiz, and your certificate is generated on the spot.

Before you start

Save your name and BACB number in Settings first — your certificate is built from them. New here? Create your account.

Are you an RBT?

This guide covers CEUs for BCBAs and BCaBAs. RBTs earn PDUs and get the official BACB PD form instead — the steps are the same, but head to Earn RBT PDUs for the RBT version.

Register, then start watching

Open the course and click Register free & watch now. You'll confirm your name (and answer any quick questions the host added), and the recording opens right away — no waiting. It's free.

Watch in one sitting or come back later; your progress is saved.

Why register?

Registering just shares your name and email with the host so they know who attended — it takes a second and it's how your attendance and certificate get tied to you.

Answer the attendance checks

As you watch, attendance checks appear just like in a live event: a 4-digit code flashes at the bottom, then hides and four number buttons appear — tap the number you saw. You'll hear a ding each time so you don't miss one.

Missed one? Rewind and retry

Recordings require every check correct. If you miss one, the tracker tells you roughly where it was — rewind to that part of the video and the check comes back around so you can get it.

Pass the quiz

After the video, take the short quiz. You need every question correct — if you miss any, you can review and try again as many times as you need.
