How to set up a CEU evaluation form (and why the BACB requires it)

Published April 9, 2026

If I had to pick the single most commonly skipped compliance step, it’s the evaluation. Not the quiz — the evaluation. The part where the learner gives feedback on the course. Providers skip it because it feels optional. It isn’t. The BACB requires it.

Assessment vs. evaluation?

Assessment tests the learner. Evaluation measures the course. Both required by the BACB.

What should it include?

Relevance, instruction quality, whether objectives were met. Check the Handbook for current requirements.

When to present it?

After the assessment, before/alongside the certificate. Cleanest flow: quiz → evaluation → certificate.

What do I do with the data?

Store it (audit trail) and read it (free product feedback).

Can I use a Google Form?

You can, but it’s one more thing to maintain separately. Better if it’s part of your quiz completion flow.

Set it up once, build it into the flow, forget about it. Five minutes of setup. Years of compliance and insight.

About CEU Lab Certs

I'm an Org ACE Provider who spent years manually creating CEU certificates and stitching together clunky systems that weren't built for the BACB's changing requirements. I built CEU Lab Certs to be the tool I wished existed — BACB-compliant templates, shareable quiz links, automated certificate delivery, and audit-ready records in one place, so you can spend your time teaching instead of doing certificate admin on a Sunday.
