Training Sessions/Workshops 2009

The BSA’s training sessions/workshop series is an opportunity to earn AIA Learning Units and Massachusetts continuing-education credits while staying up-to-date on industry issues.

These new training sessions were inspired by discussions at the BSA’s Career Resources Network monthly meetings and were scheduled to meet the demand for training.

Topics include:

  • LEED training sessions
  • Business skills training sessions
  • Revit training sessions

All training sessions/workshops (unless otherwise noted) are held at The Architects Building, 52 Broad Street, Boston.

LEED® Green Associate Overview & Exam Prep
An 8 Hour Workshop on Green Building Principles & LEED Core Concepts

Friday, December 18, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Architects Building, 52 Broad Street, Boston

U.S. Green Building Council has made a number of recent changes to the LEED examination required for accreditation. 'Green Associate' is the Tier 1 achievement within the USGBC's new LEED 2009 three-tiered accreditation system, and signifies a strong knowledge base of the principles of LEED Sustainable Design without the technical knowledge requirements of LEED AP+.

Why should you attend this seminar?

1 - Unless you have past experience on a LEED project OR are employed in a sustainable field of work, it is a mandatory requirement that you attend a Green Associate Seminar before USGBC will issue you a LEED test date.

2 - While Green Associate accreditation is not necessary for existing LEED AP's, all AIA members who attend our Green Associate Seminar will receive 8.0 HSW credits (4 of which satisfy the Sustainable Design requirement)! Non-AIA members can use our certificate of completion for self-reporting the 8 contact hours of instruction.

3 - LEEDTeacher's Green Associate Seminar is an interactive, intimate and intense collaborative learning experience including analysis of real-world examples of LEED principles and certified projects; study techniques that will help you become exam-prepared in as little as 20 days; supplementary study materials; ongoing phone/email support from your instructor until your test date; and more!

Early Bird Rate (through November 28th):
$275 Members. $350 Non-members.

Regular Rate (November 28th - December 16th):
$375 Members. $450 Non-members.

Worth 8.0 HSW credits (4 SD)
Study materials included. Breakfast and lunch provided.
