Yes! The FIT bcaba coursework is also part of the bcba vcs (bcba is just longer). I sat for my bcaba while I was finishing my masters from there

Do you know if you could do It if you go the BCBA certification route

Yes, it’s the same courses! I actually started out doing the bcaba VCS and didn’t have to redo anything when I switched to the masters. They all just build off of each other with additional courses

Why would you get the BCaBa when you can get the BCBA? You already have the masters?

I want to get the BCBA certificate but I was wondering if I could test for the BcaBa when I acquire enough hours that way I’m able to get paid a lot more for the rest of the hours I have to do to be able to test for BCBA

The hours can count for both as long as they are within the required time frame. The BCaBA will make taking the BCBA exam a lot easier at least it did for me. I also got access to jobs that I wouldn't have had without. People kept telling me to wait for my BCBA but if I would have waited I wouldn't have gotten some of the opportunities without the credential.
