LEED Training Workshops – 2026 Webinars

We’ve added new sustainability workshops in 2026 to help students pass the LEED Green Associate credential and boost their professional profiles before the exam updates. Students can also use the discount code ‘green’ to receive $100 off the course price.

LEED Green Associate Certification: 2026 Workshops

Start your year off strongly by becoming a LEED Green Associate professional and show employers your certified knowledge in sustainability before May 2026, when the LEED exam is set to become more challenging. While LEED itself is a scorecard to rate Green Buildings, students and professionals can also become LEED accredited demonstrating their expertise in sustainability.– LEED: Is the #1 Sustainability Certification and is recognized globally
– Valuable Credential: Adds an industry-recognized certification that boosts employability.
– Open to All: Available for students of all years, with no prior experience required as our workshop has helped over 15,000 pass their exam.
– Time Sensitive: Those who pass before May 2026 will not be required to take the updated and more challenging new exam.
– Affordable: Limited time student discounts are available for you!
– High Pass Rate: Our workshops focus not just on passing the test, but on providing a deep understanding of the material which significantly improves your chances of success, especially considering the exam’s historically low pass rate.
