Company Training RBTs in 1 WEEK?! Exam too!
My job has implemented a new way of training, they are hiring anyone at this point and they start, the first day they watch orientation videos they have them on floor in the afternoon shadowing for like 2 days and then they comp on kid they haven’t paired with at all. So completely random and then once they pass their comp they are scheduling them for their exam?! Then they posted that they are putting RBT trainers that will I guess go back and train them after they passed?? The quality of care is about to be so bad! They are throwing these people to the wolves?? I thought about applying but I would still have my full caseload and have to train these people at the same time?! Like am I crazy or is this like insane?? They were like well they can like have the tablets and do the work while your training them?? I’m like these kids who have made actual progress should not have the quality of therapy compromised because they are cutting corners and fast tracking training? Also there’s no extra pay for being a trainer. So double the work still getting underpaid.
