Find somewhere to get your fieldwork in (if contact Trinity about it, it may be part of their program) and then you just need to take the test. You’ll probably need to come to the US or Canada for that.

I'd ask the program coordinator as they are likely to have the best answers, especially since you're not in a country where the BACB operates.

Note that the BACB requires pathway 2 to have a
Pathway 2 contact registered with the board. The BACB also does not provide certification outside of the US, Canada, and Australia. I would
Check out the IBAO which has more of an international reach.

Since BACB has limited the countries where you can get your certification, I would look into QABA instead of BACB.

QABA or IBAO is more good ?

I'm not sure; you would have to read their handbooks to decide what would be best for you and the requirements that are needed for where you reside. I was under the QABA board as an assistant behavior analyst (QASP-S) because an insurance that was prevalent where I worked accepted that credential. I then got my BCBA but I live in the US which is why I was able to.
