LEED Training Student Invite – Winter Webinars

Published
By

Start this year right with new credentials in the field of sustainability: the LEED Green Associate! Spearheaded by the US Green Building Council, LEED accreditation tells employers about your knowledge and commitment in the field. While LEED itself is a scorecard for Green Buildings, people can also become LEED accredited highlighting their expertise about what it takes to work and build sustainably.

Our training workshops have assisted over 12,000 students and professionals learn and think critically about the material with an impressive passing rate. Given that the exam doesn’t have a high pass rate on its own, enrolling in our course provides the optimal path to secure your designation. Seize the opportunity to make the most of this year by investing in your success!
