Safety Care by QBS. We had a BCBA that we contracted with to train some of our staff and now we have one of our BCBAs certified to train our staff.
We contracted a BCBA for $115 an hour. It is expensive so we decided to pay to train someone in house. She charged a flat rate per hour and a small fee per person that completed the training. I think around $10 for the certification part. She could have up to 8 per class and the class was 8-10 hours total but we stopped prior to the section on holds since we don’t use those with children.
