RBLP certification is for Front-Line Supervisors
RBLP-C certification is for Middle Managers
RBLP-T certification is for Senior Leaders
The first step in the certification process is to apply for certification. We certify front-line supervisors, middle managers, and senior leaders. You should apply for the level of certification that best matches your work experience.
Front-line Supervisors: Applicants for Resilience-Building Leadership Professional (RBLP) certification must be currently serving in a front-line supervisor role. People aspiring to a supervisor role with two years of work or college experience may also sit for this exam.
Front-line supervisors provide guidance and direction to workers. They set priorities for workers and oversee their activities. Front-line supervisors organize people to work in teams and may work alongside subordinates as a member of the team. They monitor performance and enforce policies, rules, and regulations. Front-line supervisors have applicable technical expertise and can provide on-the-job training to workers.
Middle Managers: Applicants for Resilience-Building Leadership Professional Coach (RBLP-C) certification must be currently serving in a middle manager role or have previously served in a middle manager role.
Middle managers are responsible for objectives and results in a functional department. They may provide guidance and direction to one or more front-line supervisors. Middle managers facilitate team learning and problem-solving. They establish goals for their teams and monitor progress. Middle managers have significant relevant expertise and experience. An organization may have multiple layers of middle management.
Senior Leaders: Applicants for Resilience-Building Leadership Professional Trainer (RBLP-T) certification must be currently serving in a senior leader role or have previously served in a senior leader role.
Senior leaders are responsible for cross-functional objectives and results. They may provide guidance and direction to one or more middle managers. Senior leaders support organizational learning and change. They develop and implement strategies to achieve the organization’s vision. Senior leaders have substantial relevant expertise and experience. An organization may have multiple layers of senior leadership.
The second step in the certification process is to complete the 7-week Building and Leading Resilient Teams exam prep training course consisting of 42 hours of student preparation and 21 contact hours of instructor-led group discussion (63 total hours).
The Building and Leading Resilient Teams exam prep course is available from our partners and meets the education/training requirement for all three Resilience-Building Leader Program (RBLP®) certification exams.
Authorized Education Partners: We authorize regionally accredited colleges and universities to teach our Building and Leading Resilient Teams exam prep course. Our Authorized Education Partners typically offer regularly scheduled courses for up to 12 students in each cohort. Most employer tuition assistance programs will only pay for courses offered by colleges and universities.
Authorized Training Partners: We authorize career, technical, and trade schools; and workforce training and development companies to teach our Building and Leading Resilient Teams exam prep course. They typically offer one-on-one and small group training with flexible start dates and schedules. Most of our partner training and development companies are approved by the U.S. Military COOL and CA Programs. They are also registered U.S. Federal contractors that can process SF-182 and Government Purchase Charge Card (GPCC) transactions for government employees.
Authorized Learning and Development Partners: We authorize organizations with learning and development (L&D) capabilities to teach our Building and Leading Resilient Teams exam prep course. Our L&D partners teach the course internally to their employees. After completing the course, employees can use their employer’s education benefits to get certified.
The third step in the certification process is to sit for one of our certification exams. The Resilience-Building Leader Program (RBLP®) certification exams are conducted one-on-one via video conference by exam administrators holding doctoral degrees.
Our oral exams provide the public with a reliable mechanism for certifying that front-line supervisors, middle managers, and senior leaders demonstrate competency in the leader tasks applicable to Building and Leading Resilient Teams. We conduct oral exams because leadership knowledge can be tested more effectively by oral exam. People are more motivated to learn when they are preparing for an oral exam.
Resilience-Building Leadership Professional (RBLP) Certification Exam: During the 1.5-hour RBLP certification exam, the applicant is required to show competence of factual (what), conceptual (why), and procedural (how) knowledge in the Create Positive Climate, Develop Cohesion, and Provide Purpose competency domains.
