LEED Training – Fall Webinars

Published
By

We are writing to share an exciting opportunity for your students and faculty this fall: new LEED training workshops. With the LEED exam changing in 2026, these sessions are an excellent way for students to build their expertise in sustainability and earn their credentials before the new, more challenging exam is implemented.

We would be grateful if you would share this invitation with your students and faculty in The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University. As a friendly reminder, your students can use the code ‘green’ to receive a $100 discount.

We appreciate you distributing the information below, as past students have found these workshops to be incredibly valuable. Please CC or respond to this message once it has been distributed.

LEED Green Associate Certification: Fall Enrollment

  • LEED is the #1 Sustainability Certification: LEED is a scorecard to rate Green Buildings, but, people can also become LEED accredited highlighting their expertise about what it takes to work and build sustainably.
  • Valuable Credential: Adds an industry-recognized certification that boosts employability.
  • Open to All: Works for students of any major, with no prior experience required.
  • Lifetime Credential: Students who pass before 2026 get to keep their credential for life and won’t have to take the more difficult new exam.
  • Affordable: Discounted pricing makes it accessible for all students.

Our workshops focus not just on passing the test, but on providing a deep understanding of the material to ensure that your knowledge is solid and practical. This approach significantly improves your chances of success, especially considering the exam’s historically low pass rate.
