Two Paths to Complete Your 40 Hour RBT® Training

Both paths deliver your 40-hour RBT® training.  The difference is the level of support you want along the way.

PATH 1 • INDEPEDENT LEARNER

Self-Paced 40-Hour Training Program

Complete your 40-hour RBT® training on your own schedule with everything you need to finish Step 1 of the certification process. You get the full training built on the current RBT® Task List 3rd Edition, study aids to reinforce what you are learning, a mock Board Exam to test your readiness before the real thing, access to a private community of fellow students, an employer database to start exploring opportunities, and career resources to help you navigate what comes next.

PATH 2 • GUIDED AND SUPPORTED

Career Pathway Program

Everything in the Self-Paced Training, plus the expert support and career connections that set AppleTree Connection graduates apart. You get bi-weekly live instruction and ongoing mentorship from a board-certified industry expert, a mock Board Exam to prepare you before the real thing, a resume guide built in the language employers respond to, and access to our Beyond the 40 Hours RBT® Program which offers additional resources to support you through your Competency Assessment and into the job market.

Two Paths, One Destination

Where you completed your 40-hour training decides how you get in. Pick the path that matches you.

PATH 1 • APPLETREE GRAD

I trained with AppleTree Connection

You chose Appletree Connection for your 40-hour training, and our 91.1% pass rate speaks for itself. You're starting from a strong foundation, and the $97 you invested counts as a credit toward your Beyond the 40 Hours enrollment.

PATH 2 • TRAINED ELSEWHERE

I trained somewhere else

Not every 40-hour program is built the same. If you completed your training with another provider, our RBT®  Readiness assessment is a quick way to see where you stand and find the right path into the Beyond the 40 Hours RBT® Program.
