This is a 66 hours course of University based instruction in: Applied Behavior Analysis, Autism Core Knowledge, Practicing Ethically, Behavior Analysis Principles, ABCs of Assessment, Measuring
Behavior, Reporting Behavioral Data, Skill Acquisition, Antecedent Procedures in Skill Acquisition, Generalization and Maintenance, Preventing Problem Behavior Through Introducing and
Modifying Antecedents, Extinction and Differential Reinforcement Procedures to Reduce Problem Behavior, Punishment, Crisis Management and Comprehensive Behavior Planning.
This course work is highly synchronized with the task list and guidelines of credentialing bodies such as Behavior Analyst Certification Board BACB and Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Board QABA BOARD.
CAREER PROSPECT:
The professional services of ABA Technicians are in very high demand all over the world, Africa inclusive. Qualified student can work with children with autism and other developmental disabilities with communication difficulties in the hospital, agencies, and schools and home. They can also be self-employed under supervision within the policy of the region and the governing professional body.

Learning objectives
Students who complete this Certificate level course will be able to:
i. Explain the defining characteristics and identify applications of behaviour analysis.
ii. Demonstrate a working knowledge of, and essential characteristics of
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
iii. Describe and identify examples and non-examples of the principal concepts of
behaviour analysis (e.g. reinforcement, extinction, stimulus control).
iv. Describe, identify examples and non-examples, and use the main scientific methods of
applied behaviour analysis (e.g., measurement of behaviours, functions and ABC’ s of
assessment of behavior).
v. Describe and use the principal procedures demonstrated in applied behavioural
research (e.g., differential reinforcement, prompting, shaping, transfer of stimulus
control).
vi. Implement effective applications of behaviour analysis consistent with national and
international ethical principles (under supervision from a QASP/QBA & BCBA-level
behaviour analyst).
vii. Above all, pass the International credentialing examinations on RBT and ABA-Tech
by BACB and QABA Board, respectively.

HOW IT WORKS:
[b] Gototmeeting is a video streaming system that allows , the participant, to attend a weekend,
dyadic training program, view live, hear the presenter in real time, view the related power-point
presentation, AND ask questions if you need further clarification on any concept. Because you
can participate from the comfort of your own office and living room, you do not need to travel to
the reception center except during scheduled test/examination and or group practical
presentation of assignments as situation dictates.
WHAT YOU NEED
- A COMPUTER OR CELLPHONE with a sound card ( most newer computers already
have this installed, if you can listen to music or You Tube video, then you have sound
card or can hook on to GoToMeeting through the special code to be generated by ITC-
ABA/SLAUB - A webcam and microphone (this allow you see the presenter, other students and to ask
questions and interact with them, most newer computers have this built-in), a high-speed
internet connection. - We recommend that students have at least a 5MBPS upload and download speed.
