What Our RCDD Graduates Say
Marcus Thorne
Facilities Director, GreenState Properties
The LEED AP O+M certification was the catalyst for my career. The modules on energy performance and water efficiency were exceptionally detailed, allowing me to implement immediate cost-saving measures at our main campus. The practice exams perfectly mirrored the actual testing environment. I passed on my first attempt and secured a senior director role within 4 months.
Elena Rodriguez
Sustainability Consultant
After years in general property management, I wanted to specialize in high-performance buildings. This program gave me the technical edge I needed—specifically in indoor environmental quality and sustainable purchasing. Having 24/7 access to instructors was a lifesaver when I was navigating the complex documentation requirements for V4.1. I’m now consulting for Fortune 500 firms.
David Chen
Operations Manager, Metro Tech Hub
I compared several LEED training providers, but the pass guarantee and updated V4.1 materials made this the clear choice. The simulation tools for energy modeling were so realistic that the actual exam felt like a review. This certification didn't just add letters to my name; it gave me the confidence to lead a $10M sustainable retrofit project for my company.
