The first eight hours of the class are devoted to educating you on Sustainability, LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), Green Construction Practices and Projects, and the dos and don'ts associated with them. You can be a big asset on these projects as opposed to an uninformed liability. Those wishing to pursue the LEED Green Associate credential will then go on to the remaining sessions for further training. Please know in advance that pursuing and attaining the LEED GA credential requires a substantial amount of self-study time, which this class will help prepare you for, as well as some $. The exam for the LEED GA credential is administered by the Green Building Certification Institute. Completion of our class does NOT get you the LEED GA credential, but it WILL do a very good job preparing you to take the exam that will get you the credential.
