QABA QASP-S

QABA lists QASP-S at $300 USD, which includes the enrollment application, proctoring, and the initial exam. QABA also states that it offers adjusted pricing to those residing in developing countries. Check the QASP-S Candidate Handbook and your application portal for any separate fees, such as renewal or rescheduling charges.

The exam is online proctored and conveniently available 24/7, and exam results are immediately available upon completion. You will need a suitable computer, camera, and stable internet connection for proctoring. Confirm system requirements and identity-verification steps in the QASP-S Candidate Handbook before scheduling.

QABA lists the QASP-S exam languages as Arabic, English, Korean, and Portuguese. Note that language availability can differ by credential - the ABAT and QBA language lists on the same page are not identical - so select your language during the application or scheduling process to make sure it is available for QASP-S.

This is not stated on QABA's public pages summarized here, so treat any specific item count or time limit you see elsewhere with caution. The QASP-S Candidate Handbook is the authoritative source for the number of items, the time limit, and the passing standard. Read it before you book a test date.

The QABA pages summarized here do not publish a QASP-S retake policy, waiting period, or retake fee. Do not assume a specific number of attempts. Review the QASP-S Candidate Handbook along with QABA's rescheduling and refunds/cancellation information, or contact QABA directly, to get the current rules in writing.

Start with the QASP-S Job Task Analysis, which defines the knowledge and task statements the exam samples from. Then read the Candidate Handbook for logistics, the Competency Standards for expected skills, and the Supervision Requirements. Build your study plan domain by domain, and pay early attention to ethics and professional conduct, which underpins the rest.

QABA maintains a list of pre-approved coursework providers. ABA courses from accredited universities are accepted, but QABA notes that additional coursework covering topics such as autism and supervision and training may still be necessary, and these can be completed through QABA pre-approved providers. Verify your transcript against the requirements before applying.

Yes. QABA authorizes remote supervision, so there is no need to request a variance for in-person supervision hardship. As long as the supervisor meets the stipulated supervision criteria, supervision sessions may be conducted from any geographic location. Document supervision activities as required by the QASP-S Supervision Requirements.

Yes, QABA offers accommodations to candidates who meet the requirements. Requests must be supported by a comprehensive evaluation report from the qualified professional who conducted the individualized assessment and who recommends the accommodation based on a specific learning disorder, disability, or physical disability. That professional must also complete QABA's form, with records and test results attached.

All QABA candidates and certificants must provide either a current background attestation form signed by their employer or supervisor, or submit a current background check. QABA describes this as ensuring compliance with its standards for professional conduct and accountability. Have this ready before you submit your enrollment application to avoid delays.
