The Certified Young Business Professional (CYBP) was designed by the International Business Training Association (IBTA), the global standard for essential business skills. After having established standards for
business skills training for our global industries and businesses, we have designed a global standard for introducing high-school-age students to the business world. The CYBP curriculum draws from real-life global business situations derived from feedback from the thousands of businesses and employees that have contributed through the hundreds of business training partners that we have worldwide. The course touches all facets of business, from starting a business and operating it to making impactful improvements to the way business is conducted.
IBTA recommends between 100 and 120 hours of instruction time to complete the CYBP course. However, the course can be modified to accommodate an abbreviated schedule by assigning the in-class activities as homework and take-home projects at the instructor's discretion. Alternately, the course can be extended by the inclusion of supplemental activities such as field trips and student presentation days.
