The Green Associate is a prerequisite toward the LEED AP status. This seminar will be beneficial for A/E/C professionals - including architects, interior designers, project managers, engineers, real estate professionals, contractors, building managers, and marketing folks.


For those who pass the LEED Green Associate exam, we recommend FGTSD's course #3 (BD+C) especially designed to pass the LEED AP+ exam. This course entails a complete review of the LEED implementation process, credits; case studies; new technology, and a detailed review of over 300 questions with their rationale. They also extend a 50% discount to their classroom students for the on-line Green Associate study guide.
