How RBS certification works in LA (statewide rules)

  • Register in the ABC RBS Portal → pay $3 → get your 9-digit Server ID.
  • Train with Certs University (enter your Server ID at signup).
  • Exam unlocks within ~24 hours after training is confirmed; take the state exam (50 questions, up to 2 hours); score 70%+. The exam is open book and available in multiple languages.
  • Certification is digital—no paper card. Your status lives in the RBS Portal under your Server ID. Valid for 3 years.

Timing rules you should know: You have three exam attempts within 30 days of your confirmed training. If you don’t pass in 30 days (or fail all 3 tries), you must retake training and repay the state’s $3 fee to try again. New hires have up to 60 days from first day of employment to complete the whole certification process.
