Further it is both party\u2019s responsibility to complete the fieldwork supervision document form within each supervision period and maintain it for a minimum of 7 years. The fieldwork supervision document is not submitted to the board during the application process, although it may be subject to review at the QABA board\u2019s discretion. It is the responsibility of both parties to complete the final fieldwork verification form at the completion of the fieldwork contract, or at the end of the fieldwork completed under one supervisor. It is the responsibility of both parties to maintain the final fieldwork verification form for 7 years following the submission of the supervisee\u2019s application.<\/p><p>All QABA candidates must use the official QABA forms for documenting ongoing supervision and final verification.

Competency Standards Development: Initially, a draft task list is formulated based on comprehensive research and input from subject matter experts (SMEs) in the field of behavior analysis.<\/p><p>2. Content-Validation Survey: A content-validation survey is conducted within the profession, inviting active behavior analysts certificants from accredited certifying entities to participate. This survey ensures that the proposed tasks are relevant and comprehensive.<\/p><p>3. New Examination Blueprint: Based on the findings from the content-validation survey, a new examination blueprint, also referred to as competency standards, task list or test content outline, is created. This blueprint outlines the specific domains and tasks that QBA candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in.<\/p><p><strong>The QBA examination is periodically updated to reflect current practices and advancements in behavior analysis, ensuring that certified QBAs are well-prepared to meet the evolving demands of their profession.
