Thanks!
Just a note of sincere appreciation to Everblue who recently delivered a course for credit at Rutgers University as part of a degree program in Business and Science. Students enrolled in Everblue's CSM and Carbon Accounting and completed the exam with Everblue. The Everblue curriculum was top quality, instructor engaging, and the testing staff was very professional. Everblue, you truly deserve the ".edu" in your web address!!

Sustainability Manager Requirements
I just received my LEED Green Associate and will be attempting my LEED AP soon. How does this Sustainability course compare to these credentials? Is there a pre-requisite?
Sustainability Manager Requirements
Gen, thank you for the great question. There is no pre-requisite for this course - not even a LEED credential. It is helpful however because there are many LEED references in the curriculum. It is really a course designed to take concepts in Sustainability, even beyond design and construction, into the workplace. We hope to see you in a class soon!
