Entry-level RBT jobs with no experience required
You do not need prior experience to start as a Registered Behavior Technician. ABA is one of the most accessible healthcare-adjacent careers there is: the entry credential — the RBT certification — takes a 40-hour training, a competency assessment, and a background check, not a degree. Many of our partners specifically hire newly certified RBTs and train them up, and some will sponsor and pay for the certification itself.
It's a genuine on-ramp. Entry-level RBTs typically start around $18–$22/hr and move up quickly with experience — and because RBT fieldwork hours count toward the BCBA credential, it's the standard first step toward a career that pays $75k–$100k+. Here's the full how to become an RBT guide and the RBT-to-BCBA path.
