RBLP Certification



Experience and Training Requirement

RBLP is our core leadership certification for frontline managers. Applicants for RBLP certification must complete an instructor-led exam prep course (3 modules) offered by our network of Authorized Training Partners.

Frontline managers are typically responsible for directing and coordinating the work of a team or small department. Their focus is on day-to-day operations, managing resources, and ensuring tasks are completed.

Frontline managers are responsible for the morale, teamwork, and motivation of their teams. They strive to create a positive and collaborative environment where team members feel supported, valued, and committed to shared goals.
