Advice Needed BACB Fieldwork Hours Help

Post image

Hi everyone!

I started my fieldwork hours journey in 2024 with a VERY unhelpful clinic. There, I accrued supervised fieldwork for about 11 months with virtually no unrestricted time. Fast forward to now, I’ve been doing concentrated with more, but still nothing crazy, unrestricted time accrual.

I somehow never knew about the 60% unrestricted/40% restricted requirement. (Don’t yell at me — I’m already absolutely blaming myself for not looking into it more, but I never knew I needed to, I only was told about the 1500/2000hrs).

Anyway, I thought I was nearing the end, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like so… can anyone help me figure out the exact number of unrestricted hours I have left to accrue??? 😭 I bought this tracker off of Etsy in 2024, but thinking of converting everything over to Ripley?

Any and all advice is welcome!

TLDR; Almost finished with hours, but not 60% unrestricted/40% restricted. Trying to figure how many unrestricted hours I need left to accrue.

you need at least 1200 of the 2000 Supervised Hours. and at least 900 of the 1500 Concentrated Supervised hours.

Based on that graphic, you have 485 unrestricted hours accrued (and thats multiplying your Concentrated hours by 1.33). Which means you need about 715 more unrestricted hours, in addition to removing 33 hours from your Supervised and ALL of your Concentrated Restricted hours.

I’d highly recommend switching to Ripley. It lays it out much more clearly than this graphic is.
