What Our RCDD Graduates Say
Marcus Thorne
Senior Architect, EcoBuild Design
The LEED AP BD+C certification was the catalyst for my transition into sustainable design. The detailed modules on water efficiency and indoor environmental quality provided the technical depth I needed for high-stakes projects. I secured a lead role on a LEED Platinum project just months after passing.
Elena Rodriguez

After a decade in general contracting, I needed a specialty. This program delivered exactly what I required: a comprehensive understanding of the LEED rating system and the credentials to back it up. The instructor support during the energy modeling sections was a lifesaver.
Jason Kwok

The exam prep materials were incredibly accurate, making the actual test feel like a review. This certification has opened doors to major urban redevelopment projects that require mandatory LEED accreditation. It is the best investment I’ve made for my professional growth in the AEC industry.
