"Individuals not certified by the BACB are expressly prohibited from misrepresenting that they are BACB certified as either a BCBA or BCaBA, or misrepresenting eligibility for BCBA or BCaBA certification, including misrepresentations of similar designations designed to imply BACB certification or eligibility status. This rule will be enforced against individuals who have graduated from a certificate awarding educational program, who are not entitled to represent BACB certification until such time as they are certified by the BACB. Applicants for certification who have previously misrepresented BACB certification or eligibility status may be subject to additional fines and penalties ($500 for each occurrence) for the misrepresentations prior to consideration of their certification application (Standard 3iv)."
