The first administration of the Ontario Examination for Professional Practice in Applied Behaviour Analysis (OEPPABA) will be held on Monday May 26, 2025. The following administration is expected to be held in October 2025. Thereafter, the OEPPABA will be offered twice per year in the Spring and Fall.
The OEPPABA is based on the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Test Content Outline (6th ed.), which has been adapted to reflect practice of the profession in Ontario. Eligible Transitional Route 2 candidates and active Entry Level Route (Supervised Practice) registrants are required to pass the OEPPABA as part of the registration process.
The OEPPABA’s blueprint and competency profile can be found on the ABA portal on the College’s website here. Additional information about the OEPPABA can be found in the Registration Guidelines here.
