What are the Benefits of Earning a LEED Professional Credential?

There are an infinite amount of reasons why you should become a LEED professional. Here are just a few:

  • You’ll increase your value at your current job.
  • You’ll be more valuable in the job market.
  • Your firm will be recognized as having a LEED AP on staff.
  • You’ll learn about sustainable building design strategies.
  • You’ll join the ranks of over 100,000 LEED APs around the world.
  • You’ll stand out amongst your peers.
  • You get to add a fancy “LEED AP” at the end of your name.
  • You’ll know that you’re doing good things for the environment.

Personally, when I earned my LEED AP credential in 2008, I became a leader in my office when it came to green building strategies – and even my boss was asking me questions about becoming a LEED professional. A few months later, I earned a promotion and a substantial raise. Although I can’t say that my LEED AP credential was directly related to my promotion, I’m sure it helped.
