The six content areas, one module at a time
Organized around the BACB's RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.), in effect for 2026. Open a module to see what's inside.
We teach the way ABA teaches
Every UMTC course uses Behavioral Skills Training, the same method you will use with clients. Reading about a skill is not the same as doing it.
Instruction
A short, clear explanation of the skill and why it matters.
Modeling
Watch it done correctly in a real session example.
Rehearsal
You practice with scenarios, role-plays, and checks.
Feedback
Immediate feedback, then practice again until mastery.
Built with instructional design, not slides
Each lesson follows a clear sequence: get your attention, tell you the goal, connect to what you already know, teach, practice, give feedback, check, and help it stick on the job.
Each lesson ends with something you can do in your next session.
