The Ultimate Guide to Tracking ABA Fieldwork Hours with Ease

Whether you’re pursuing your BCBA or BCaBA certification, one thing is for certain: tracking your ABA fieldwork hours can feel overwhelming. With complex BACB® requirements, multiple types of hours, supervisor verification, and strict monthly documentation rules, it’s easy to feel lost in spreadsheets or stuck wondering if you’re staying on track.

That’s where the Ripley Fieldwork Tracker comes in. Designed with future BCBAs and BCaBAs in mind, Ripley helps you streamline your fieldwork process, organize your supervision, and stay BACB-compliant every step of the way.

Why Is Accurate ABA Fieldwork Tracking So Important?

The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) has specific and detailed requirements when it comes to fieldwork. These include:

• Tracking Supervised Fieldwork or Concentrated Supervised Fieldwork
• Logging both supervised and unrestricted activities
• Meeting minimum and maximum monthly hour requirements
• Maintaining monthly verification forms signed by your supervisor
• Keeping accurate records for potential audits

Failing to properly track and verify your hours can delay your certification or even result in losing credit for hours you’ve already completed. That’s why using a reliable, easy-to-use tool is more than convenient — it’s essential.
