LEED Green Associate (GA) Training
Make your resume stand out with the premier sustainability designation called the LEED Green Associate! LEED is simply a sustainability scorecard for green buildings. As buildings can become LEED Certified, people can become LEED accredited! The best way to break into the sustainability space is to attain the LEED Green Associate. It also shows employers and clients you have certified knowledge in the field. Since the LEED GA exam doesn’t have a stellar pass rate, the value of the extra letters behind your name will carry even more weight.
Attend one of Lorne Mlotek's workshops which have helped nearly 10K students and professionals learn the material cold (important for interview prep) AND clear the exam with a very high passing rate.
Live webinars can be streamed any of the following dates:
Cost: $200 - Students can use the coupon code ‘green’ for $50 off (Discounted course price $150)
