QASP-S Certification (Qualified Autism Service Practitioner – Standard)
The QASP-S Certification is a professional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training program designed to prepare learners for the Qualified Autism Service Practitioner – Standard certification. The program combines comprehensive theoretical instruction with practical supervision to help participants develop the knowledge and skills required to work effectively with individuals with autism.
Students receive live online lectures, lifetime access to recorded sessions, comprehensive study materials, additional scientific resources, and a mock examination to prepare for the certification exam. Practical supervision can be completed alongside the theoretical coursework or after the academic portion of the program.
Practical Supervision
To complete the QASP-S certification requirements, learners must complete 50 supervision hours.
