Listen up y’all, gather round and hear
I’ve got a story to tell, so lend me your ear
It’s about becoming an RBT, you see
A Registered Behavior Technician, that’s what you’ll be
First things first, you must be of age
18 years old, that’s the first page
And with that, you need a diploma or its equivalent
No ifs, ands, or buts, that’s just what they meant
Now it’s time for the training, 40 hours in all
Don’t try to cheat or cut corners, you’ll hit a wall
Pay attention, take notes, and don’t fall asleep
Or else your understanding won’t be very deep
Next comes the Competency Assessment, oh boy
You’ll need to show your skills, like a child’s favorite toy
A BCBA will evaluate your understanding
But don’t be nervous, it’s not that demanding
But before that, a background check must be done
By a BCBA, no less, to make sure you’re not a con
Don’t worry, just be honest and true
And you’ll pass with flying colors, that’s the clue
Then it’s time to fill out the RBT application online
Submit all the completion docs, don’t waste time
Double-check for errors, make sure it’s all neat
And before you know it, you’re halfway through the feat
Last but not least, the multiple-choice exam
You can’t just guess, or you’ll be in a jam
Find a Pearson Testing Center, it’s not far
And once you pass, you’ll be a superstar!
So there you have it, the steps to becoming an RBT
It’s not too hard, just follow these steps, and you’ll see
But remember, being funny and rhyming is just for fun
When it comes to RBT, take it seriously, and you’ll be number one!
