QABA ABAT

QABA lists the ABAT at $125 USD, which includes the enrollment application, proctoring, and the initial exam. QABA also states that it offers adjusted pricing to applicants residing in developing countries, so it is worth checking whether you qualify before paying.

It is an online proctored exam that QABA makes available 24/7, and results are available immediately upon completion. QABA's public overview page does not state the number of items or the time limit; those details belong in the ABAT Candidate Handbook, which is posted on QABA's site.

QABA lists four exam languages for the ABAT: Arabic, English, Japanese, and Spanish. Note that the language offerings differ by credential - for example, QASP-S includes Korean and Portuguese but not Japanese - so confirm the current list when you schedule.

QABA accepts ABA coursework from accredited universities and maintains a filterable list of pre-approved coursework providers on its website. QABA notes that additional coursework covering topics such as autism and supervision and training may be necessary to satisfy all enrollment prerequisites, and those can be taken through approved providers.

Yes. QABA states that accommodation requests must be supported by a comprehensive evaluation report from the qualified professional who conducted an individualized assessment of the applicant and is recommending accommodations for the examination based on a specific learning disorder, disability, or physical disability, using QABA's form with supporting records.

QABA requires all candidates and certificants to provide either a current background attestation form signed by their employer or supervisor, or a current background check. The requirement applies at the candidate stage, not only after certification, so prepare it alongside your application.

Difficulty is individual, and QABA publishes no pass rate on its overview page. Start with the ABAT Job Task Analysis and ABAT Competency Standards, since those documents define the tested domains, then work through the ABAT Candidate Handbook for logistics and build practice around your weakest domains rather than rereading what you already know.

QABA's overview page does not state a retake policy, waiting period, or retake fee. QABA does maintain dedicated Reschedule Your Exam and Refunds and Cancellation pages, and the ABAT Candidate Handbook is the authoritative source - check those before assuming a timeline or cost.

Renewal requires QABA Continuing Education Units, which are earned through pre-approved QABA CE providers found via the filter on QABA's site. QABA notes it imposes certain restrictions on which CEUs count, so read the renewal information section before booking courses.

Yes. QABA states that it authorizes remote supervision, so no hardship variance is needed for distance; a supervisor who meets the stipulated supervision criteria may conduct sessions from any geographic location. The specific ABAT supervision requirements are published separately on QABA's site.
