Here are some of the types of training you should consider:

You Can Take an Online Course
This is more of a self-study type of format. They’re taken at your own (slow or fast) pace. Classes can take from 1 hour or 5 hours. You will have full access to course material so generally, there’s a lot of time for you to finish your course. Since it’s online, the potential for distractions will be there but when you’re motivated, it won’t be too hard.
Program Classes from USGBC Approved Education Providers
This format is very flexible as well since the LEED classes can be given across many venues. Experts will lead classes in the specific areas that they’re most adept at. The USGBC is the approving authority for LEED education. This allows business of all kinds to develop educational programs in order to share knowledge learned within their niche.
Workshops
Typically, these LEED workshops will take place in a classroom atmosphere. Sometimes, these can be small settings or even as large as an auditorium. Some companies offer on-site, or in-house, training workshops for companies and their employees. The instructor is usually a LEED expert. Not only would this option allow you to interact with a professional in person, but it would be a great way to start meeting and networking with other LEED professionals.
Webinars
This type of LEED accreditation class merges a workshop and the web based course. Scheduling is very flexible plus there’s the advantage of online archival capabilities. Speakers can easily share their knowledge with the students and questions are often addressed immediately. This requires some discipline on the student’s part also.
Whatever your reason is for taking the LEED accreditation class, it’s a good idea to choose the venue that is a good match to your schedule and your learning ability.
