This certification is based on a focused, easy to learn program, designed by green building leaders.  You have lots of other issues to deal with each day.  You already know how to market yourself, now you need to know about the environmental issues and what is green in remodeling or new construction and how to help in a selling or buying process for a client that says “green”. This program will help you interpret the terms, ask the critical question and help meet their expectations.
