Green Craft Professional
(4 Hour and 12 Hour Certifications)
Imagine being able to tell your client that your craft workers have gone through a 4 hour green training program, your superintendent has a 12 hour green certification in addition to your PM being a LEED AP. Not everyone needs that LEED AP designation, but there is a lot of potential to impress clients with a field staff thoroughly trained in sustainable practices.
