LEED Credential Maintenance

The Simplest Way to Maintain your LEED Credential

Congratulations on expanding your career and becoming an accredited green building professional! By now, you should have taken a LEED exam and earned the title of LEED Green Associate or LEED AP with Specialty. Newly accredited LEED professionals often wonder: What's next?

LEED v3’s arrival in April 2009 brought a number of changes and enhancements along with it, including a new tiered credentialing system known as the Credentialing Maintenance Program (CMP), which requires LEED professionals to complete ongoing continuing education.

If you are satisfied as a LEED Green Associate and do not wish to upgrade to a LEED AP with Specialty, you should go ahead and enroll in a LEED CMP program to maintain your hard-earned credential. If you are a LEED Green Associate who wants to pursue a LEED AP with Specialty designation, you will need to gain LEED Project Experience to become eligible to sit for the LEED AP exam. Once you become a LEED AP with Specialty, you will need to enroll in a LEED CMP program to maintain your credential. For more information, please visit the LEED CMP Explained page.

To get started on your path toward LEED credential maintenance, please choose from the CMP training packages below.
