At the Aug. 15 meeting of the Behavior Analyst Advisory Committee, Executive Director David Fye gave an update on the board’s pilot with CE Broker, the vendor that provides voluntary continuing‑education tracking for licensing boards and licensees.

Fye said about 1,757 licensees — roughly 11% of the BSRB’s eligible pool — had activated free CE Broker accounts since the board’s rollout. He said CE Broker reported 26 support tickets related to the implementation: 19 tickets came from BSRB licensees and seven from nonlicensees (several related to a separate preapproval workflow for social‑work providers).

BSRB staff told the committee they plan to add clearer directions and a permanent link to CE Broker on each profession’s renewal webpage, and to add a paragraph about CE Broker to the renewal reminder emails sent at 90, 60 and 30 days before license expiration. Fye said the board hopes these steps will increase adoption before the end of the current two‑year license cycles.

On technical integration, Fye said a live link between the board’s future licensing/renewal system and CE Broker is a longer‑term goal — likely a year to 18 months away — so that renewals can check uploaded CE evidence in CE Broker rather than requiring manual uploads during audit. Committee members also asked about syncing CE records with external credentialing bodies (for example, the Behavior Analyst Certification Board). Fye said cross‑system syncing would require cooperation and data‑sharing agreements with those outside entities and that it is a desirable but technically and legally complex future step.

Why it matters: CE Broker can shorten audits and provide licensees a central place to store certificates, but the board said adoption so far is modest; staff will highlight the service in renewal communications and explore system integration to make uptake easier.
