You're Not In This Alone
Self-paced doesn't mean by yourself.
The biggest misconception about self-paced learning is that you're isolated. At GoBeyond, every enrolled student has live human support built in — not as an add-on, but as a core part of the program. You set your own schedule; we make sure you're never stuck.
Weekly Live Study Groups
Led by experienced trainers every week. Bring your questions from the course content and get real answers — live, not a forum post.
A private community of enrolled students and experienced trainers. Post questions, share progress, and stay accountable — every day of your 120-day window.
Experienced Trainer Support
Our experienced trainers post insights, answer questions, and stay active in the community. You have access to the same expertise that trains RBTs® in the field every day.
Peer Community
Other students on the same path — different schedules, same goal. The community keeps you connected and motivated even when you're studying at 11pm on a Tuesday.

For Certified RBTs
9 lessons. Every BACB task item covered.
40 hrs · 120-day access
Built on the RBT® Task List (3rd Edition). Each lesson includes video instruction, guided activities, and a summary quiz to confirm understanding before you move forward.
Lesson 1 - Becoming an RBT®
+
Covers what it means to work as an RBT® — the certification process, the science behind ABA, who your clients are, and what working in this field actually looks like day to day.
Lesson 2 - Intro to Autism Spectrum Disorder
+
Introduction to autism spectrum disorder — how it presents across different individuals, verbal and non-verbal profiles, and what RBTs® need to understand before entering a session.
Lesson 3 - Intro to Applied Behavior Analysis
+
Core principles of ABA — the science behind behavior, reinforcement schedules, generalization, maintenance, and extinction. The theoretical foundation everything else builds on.
Lesson 4 - Data Collection
+
How to accurately measure behavior — continuous and discontinuous measurement procedures, permanent product recording, entering data, and updating client graphs. Core RBT® skill.
Lesson 5 - Assessments
+
Defining behavior and environment, conducting preference assessments, assisting with individualized assessment procedures, and functional assessment — how to gather the data that drives clinical decisions.
Lesson 6 - Session Preparation
+
The most comprehensive lesson in the course. Covers skill acquisition programs, reinforcement procedures, DTT, Natural Environment Teaching, prompting and error correction, chaining, antecedent variables, mand training, and more.
Lesson 7 - Behaviors & Interventions
+
Understanding the functions of behavior, reading and implementing behavior plans, differential reinforcement, and extinction procedures. How to respond when behavior occurs and why your response matters.
Lesson 8 - BACB Requirements
+
Session documentation, supervisor communication, BACB discipline standards, reporting requirements, and state-level obligations. What you are required to do and understand as a credentialed RBT®.
Lesson 9 - Client Ethics
+
Your role in service delivery, responding appropriately to feedback, communicating with caregivers and stakeholders, client dignity, and the ethical behaviors the BACB expects of every RBT® in the field.
