Each military service interprets our experience requirements below and makes their own decisions regarding which paygrades are eligible for each level of RBLP Leadership Certification.
RBLP is our core leadership certification for frontline managers that are 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. Aspiring managers with relevant work experience are also eligible for this certification.
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. See the ACE Credit College and University Network.
RBLP-C is our leadership certification for experienced managers that typically oversee project teams or a larger department with multiple teams. As managers gain experience, 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.
