Four simple steps towards receiving your RBSM designation:

Step 1
Register for the RBSM examination. Online applications now include access to Volumes 1-7 and the Guide to Green Cleaning in e-book format. You have 365 days from the date you apply to access the e-book study materials and the online examination. If you do not complete the exam within the time limit, it will count as an automatic fail.

Step 2
If you would also like hard copies of the study materials, you may order your materials online in the BSCAI Marketplace.

Step 3
Access the Training Center when you are ready to take the examination:

• Examinees will have 14 days to complete all 4 sections of the RBSM exam.
  • Once you begin one of the four sections of your exam, the 14 day timer begins.
  • Individual sections are still timed the same as paper testing.
  • Examinees do not need to take the sections in order and can choose to take one section after the other or space them out within the 14 days.
• Examinees do not need to have a proctor present.
• Results are generated automatically after each section is completed and an e-mail confirmation is sent with total results when the exam is completed.
• The exams are completely True/False and Multiple Choice.

Step 4
Online testing results will be received instantly. Candidates must achieve a minimum passing score of 70% on each of the four sections on the exam. A candidate can retake any section that he/she does not pass again within one year. You can apply to retake the exam by logging into your profile and adding the reexamination to your cart. Re-examination is a $100 fee to BSCAI headquarters.
