RBLP Coach Certification



Experience and Training Requirement

RBLP Coach is our leadership certification for experienced managers. Applicants for RBLP Coach certification must complete an instructor-led exam prep course (5 modules) offered by our network of Authorized Training Partners.

Experienced managers usually oversee project teams or a larger department with multiple teams. Their role shifts from direct supervision to problem-solving, implementing change, continuous improvement, and innovation.

Experienced managers are responsible for analyzing performance and implementing strategies aligned with broader organizational goals. They encourage reflective practices, promote feedback loops, and implement systems that allow teams to assess their successes and challenges.
