The purpose of this training series is to instruct individuals who would like to learn how to develop and deliver green building education programs that meet the quality criteria of USGBC's education review process. Courses approved through this review qualify for continuing education hours toward LEED Professional Credential maintenance and are listed in the USGBC course catalog. This series is NOT a LEED Faculty training and does not include LEED-specific content.
