Marine Corps COOL has approved the RBLP, RBLP-C and RBLP-T certifications.
The Marine Corps’ Credentials Program Office has a limited amount of certification exam voucher funds that may be used by enlisted personnel towards specifically-identified certifications and licenses. These vouchers will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
Check with Marine Corps COOL to determine eligibility requirements for enlisted Marines (E4 to E9).

Military service members can earn their leadership certification no matter where they are stationed globally.
Our certification exams are conducted online.
Our Authorized Training Partners (ATPs) also offer instructor-led online exam prep training.
