There are several types of certifications that ABA therapists can have. The most common certification is the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), which requires a master's degree in behavior analysis or a related field and a certain number of supervised hours of experience. There are also lower levels of certification, such as the Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) and the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which have less stringent requirements.
The interviewer would like to fully understand what certifications you hold and where you want to go with your continued education to determine if you meet their requirements and how motivated you are to pursue professional development. Discuss your current training and explain how you are always motivated to expand your credentials.

I am a successful graduate of Confederation College and have obtained a diploma in Early Childhood Education and Dental Hygiene. I am currently registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators and have been since April 2019. I'd like to obtain a degree at some point in the future in education.

Great answer! Consider adding more specific detail to your last sentence so it sounds more definitive. For example: "I plan to go back to school to earn another degree in the next few years so I can continue deepening my knowledge of children's education."
