Can I work as a registered behavior technician assistant with no experience?

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) assistant typically needs some training and certification, but prior experience is not always required. Many employers provide on-the-job training and support for new assistants, especially if they demonstrate a strong interest in behavior analysis and working with clients. Completing the RBT certification process is often necessary to work in this role.
