Training for ABA Therapists.... I want to become one!
How did you go about getting your certificate? I would like to attend a workshop but is there anyway I could attend the course at a college and receive credits to? Would anyone recommend a program or workshop they went to?

Re: Training for ABA Therapists.... I want to become one!
As for getting a "certificate" a lot of agencies do their own trainings. However, there are college level courses in applied behavior analysis that you can learn it in. I started doing my BCBA (board certification in behavior analysis) at University of North Texas distance learning program. I never finished it, but the classes I took were great. If you want to look for college level classes, here is the BACB site which lists all the colleges. Keep in mind some, you can do online.

becoming a bcba includes both the classes and supervision hours along with taking a test. If u just want some classes in ABA, these are the places that offer it. You don't need to get a bcba to take these classes
