The Problem

What happens when certification is delayed

Retaking with the same study habits tends to produce the same score.

38%

Fewer than 4 in 10 candidates (38%) passed on a retake in 2025, compared with 75% of first-time candidates.

How It Works

14 days. Built on the P.A.S.S. Framework™.

Future RBTs spend about 45 to 60 minutes a day, mostly self-paced, so it fits around client schedules and shifts. Your agency spends about 30 minutes getting started.

Brandi has spent 12 years in ABA, 2 as an RBT and 10 as a BCBA, including clinical leadership inside agencies. She knows what it costs when a strong hire can't get past the exam.

She built the P.A.S.S. Framework™ specifically for Future RBTs who have already failed once, because retakers rarely need more effort. They need the right target.

Questions

Before you book

Who is the pilot for?

Future RBTs who took the RBT exam at least once and did not pass, are employed by your agency at enrollment, and can retest within the 90-day eligibility window after the cohort ends. Each one agrees to complete the PASS Diagnostic™ and have their result verified. First-time testers aren't part of the founding pilot.

How does pay-on-pass work?

There is no upfront cost. For each Future RBT who completes the PASS Diagnostic™ during the cohort, the $500 success fee is due only if they pass the RBT certification examination within 90 calendar days after the cohort's scheduled end date. For the founding cohort, that 90-day eligibility window runs from February 7 through May 8, 2027. A passing result must be verified through the BACB Certificant Registry or an official score report, with participant consent. No pass, no invoice.

How much time does it take from our staff?

About 30 minutes to get started. You send names, forward one kickoff email, and share your usual retake pass rate. After the cohort, there's one short feedback call. Future RBTs spend about 45 to 60 minutes a day, mostly self-paced. Your BCBAs don't need to run anything.

What do you ask in return?

As a founding agency: a testimonial, permission to share anonymized results, and a short feedback call. That's how the pilot builds proof for future agencies.

What if we have fewer than 5 Future RBTs retaking?

The founding pilot is built for 5 to 10 Future RBTs per agency. If you have fewer, reach out anyway. We're shaping future cohort options around what agencies actually need.

What does Green Light™ mean?

Green Light™ is the program's readiness benchmark. At the end of the 14 days, each Future RBT takes one full-length, timed practice exam. A score of 80% or higher earns Green Light™ and the next step is scheduling the exam with The Final 48™. Anyone below 80% receives a written Targeted Preparation plan. It is an internal benchmark, not a guarantee of passing the BACB examination.

Do you guarantee a pass?

No one can honestly guarantee an exam result. What we can do is find the score gaps, target them, and give your team a readiness check before the next attempt. That's why you only pay when they pass.

Is this affiliated with the BACB?

No. Pass This Time is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BACB®.
