Each LEED professional with a specialty must acquire a number of continuing education hours to maintain their credentials. AEC Daily has created collections of courses to help meet these requirements. Take a look:
LEED Credentialing Maintenance
LEED GA’s must complete 15 CE (continuing education) hours biennially, with three of those being LEED-specific. One type of approved education is ERB-approved (GBCI - education review board approved) content which includes courses, workshops, presentations, classes, or articles assigned by an instructor. AEC Daily makes it simple to satisfy the LEED GA CE requirements with our course collections. The courses listed in this collection are all ERB-approved online courses and satisfy the non-LEED-specific course requirements.
LEED AP BD+C are required to take 30 CE (continuing education) hours biennially, 6 of which must be LEED specific hours. Among the ways to earn CE hours is to take ERB approved activities, which includes online courses. AEC Daily makes it simple and inexpensive to meet these requirements. We have created a list of courses that apply to the required topic categories for BD+C credentialing maintenance. You can find all 24 of LEED non-specific hours on our site.
LEED Prescriptive Credentialing Maintenance
LEED AP’s without Specialty can choose the prescriptive credentialing maintenance option for earning a specialty. They must take 30 hours of courses; 24 LEED non-specific within required categories outlined by GBCI, and 6 LEED-specific. This program ends Fall 2011 and once finished, specialties can only be earned by taking an exam. AEC Daily makes it simple and inexpensive to attain a specialty. We have created a list of courses that apply to the required prescriptive hours for BD+C prescriptive credentialing maintenance and you can find all 24 LEED non-specific hours, on our site.
