The Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Credentialing Board (QABA) has international accreditation through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the golden standard for accreditation.

I agree with the amended language to state that a "certifying body is an entity nationally accredited by ANSI or the NCCA". Many other states have this included in their language including New Jersey, Texas, and others.  If you include the name and certifications of the BACB, then QABA and its certifications should be named too, to prevent a monopoly.

QABA certifications and exams have gone through psychometric processes after being created by subject matter experts. Annual analyses of these exams are performed by a psychometrician to confirm reliability and validity. A rigorous annual surveillance (audit) is performed by ANSI to confirm QABA continues to meet the standards for continued accreditation.
