Should I just start my sustainability journey LEED exam prep?
For some, this works.
But for many professionals and organizations LEED for ALL is a more effective option than LEED exam prep, with its associated costs, commitments, and burdens and difficulties. Organizations today need their people to be conversant in sustainability principles and often, in green building principles --- to communicate credibly with the market. Maintain credibility when communicating with clients, potential customers, vendors, and internally with colleagues. Organizations with sustainability initiatives rely on personnel who can think, communicate, and act with sustainability in mind.
In-house training can be customized to meet specific client needs and to impart organizational goals, initiatives, mandates, etc.

Problem:
- Because LEED is exclusive, only a small cross-section of society learns basic sustainability principles, often through the lens of LEED, as they pursue LEED professional accreditation.
- Those who study for their LEED exams learn the WHAT and HOW of LEED. Often, they don't learn enough of the WHY behind the various LEED credits, and principles.
Solution: LEED for ALL
- This class is designed to focus on the WHY behind the WHAT and HOW on which LEED exam prep primarily focuses. Whether or not you're pursuing a LEED professional credential, this class provides a strong foundation.
- LEED for ALL is less technical, more inclusive, more holistic -- and designed to engage more people.
- LEED for ALL will help you learn the big picture of sustainability, within the context of business and within constraints of nature. As a result you will:
> become conversant in green building principles and the language of LEED
> understand how these LEED concepts contribute to the broader sustainability picture
> enhance your company's sustainability initiatives
> be credible when promoting eco-friendly products and services to clients
> demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about
