Whether you're new to green building or working on a registered project, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) offers a course for you to expand your knowledge of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). USGBC provides online courses, public and private workshops, group discounts, and student pricing.

You can choose the level that meets your needs from 100-level "Awareness" courses that are for individuals with limited or no knowledge of green building; 200-level "Understanding" courses for those familiar with LEED; and 300-level "Application and Implementation courses" for professionals seeking to solidify their knowledge, as they look to build green projects. None of these courses have prerequisites. Visit the national USGBC Website to register.
