Everblue.edu Offers LEED Green Associate Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) Class

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Everblue.edu now offers comprehensive training courses to maintain both LEED Green Associate (GA) and LEED Accredited Professional (AP) credentials. By the end of 2011, thousands of professionals must complete the Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) mandated by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

“This breakthrough in CMP course offerings is a simple, streamlined and all-inclusive program that is far superior to the piecemeal courses and difficult certificate submission processes of before,” said Jon Boggiano, Everblue principal. “As if navigating the maze of LEED specialty tests is not difficult enough, professionals also have to ensure that their LEED Green Associate or AP status does not expire. Everblue helps you to earn all of your CMP credentials in a simple, one-stop-shopping program that is comprehensive and easy.”

The CMP classes cover the latest LEED Green Building knowledge, along with tips on how to maintain the hard-earned LEED credential and how to upgrade from a “Legacy LEED AP” to a “LEED AP with Specialty” without taking another test. The material covered during Everblue’s CMP classes also fulfills continuing education requirements, such as AIA, PE, PDHs, BPI and InterNACHI.

Everblue offers all of its CMP courses online, allowing students to meet their CMP requirements at any time. Professionals may choose to attend a live webinar, or they may watch a recorded class and take a short quiz to meet the requirements. Professionals may register for the 15-hour LEED Green Associate course or the 30-hour LEED AP course. Either way, Everblue provides one certificate to submit to the USBGC. This makes scheduling and receiving credit for hours completed simple, streamlined and efficient.

Everblue offers the 15-hour class for $299 and the 30-hour class for $399. Both sessions include a 15-month subscription to all online CMP resources. These sessions are tailored to meet the requirements of the USGBC Credential Maintenance Program.
