Enter the Certified Business Laureate (CBL) Exam. The standardized test is the product of GF Education Group, Inc., a Philly-based start-up incubated by edu-focused angel USNET Capital, Inc. of Westlake Village, CA, among other investors.

The exam offers students a platform for demonstrating a common set of practical business knowledge and skills in a uniform, measurable way. The same way the GMAT and SAT bring efficiency to the college admissions process, the CBL Exam allows employers to look at candidates in a consistent manner across schools, majors, and geographies.
