Certified Behavior Technician

Washington State holds 5,091 active credentials of this type — 0.9% of every active health care credential in the state. Here is what that number is made of, and how to check one.

What kind of credential this is

A Certified Behavior Technician is a Other credential — a credential whose title does not carry one of Washington’s usual words. We do not guess which regime it falls under — the title is shown as the Department writes it.

That word is not a formality. Washington issues 26,630 active credentials in this form across the state, and it decides what the holder may do without someone else’s supervision. How a other credential differs from the others.

When these credentials expire

Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, so these 5,091 expiry dates are spread right across the calendar rather than falling together. By year:

How long these holders have been credentialled

The oldest Certified Behavior Technician credential still active in Washington was first issued in 2017. 3,624 of the 5,091 were issued in 2024 or later — 71.2% of the profession is that new.

The disciplinary flag

None of the 5,091 active credentials of this type carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

5,091 credentials of this type are active in Washington. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
