RBLP Certification Requirements
The RBLP certification recognizes frontline and aspiring supervisors who understand the fundamentals of leadership required to build resilient teams.
These leaders can create the conditions that enable teams to perform at their best by creating a positive climate, developing cohesion, and providing purpose.
Resilience is a characteristic of high-performing teams that can adapt to change, overcome adversity, continuously improve, and consistently deliver results.
Candidates for the Resilience-Building Leadership Professional certification must be currently serving as a frontline supervisor or preparing for their first supervisory assignment. RBLP candidates typically have 2+ years of relevant experience working as part of a team.
Note: College students preparing to enter the workforce are encouraged to pursue the RBLP certification. Relevant experience may include employment, internships, athletics, ROTC, student organizations, volunteer service, research teams, and other structured team environments.
Candidates for RBLP certification must complete:
- 6 hours of personal reflection on leader/follower experience
- 3 hours of instructor-led, exam prep training (oral exam rehearsal)
- Pass the 1.5-hour oral exam
The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends three (3) semester hours of credit at the lower-division baccalaureate level in Team Leadership for the RBLP certification exam.
