Course Description*
|
Provide a brief description of the course (approximately 250 words) similar to the marketing materials you provide to attendees. This should include the
event
goal, target audience, and any prerequisite knowledge. This description will be posted in the course catalog after the course has been approved. We aim
for a consistent format in the course catalog. Do not change the font type, color or size! USGBC reserves the right to edit your text to conform to the
course catalog. For reference, see www.usgbc.org/courses.
|
Learning Objectives*
At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:
|
List at least four learning objectives for the course as individual bullets. These learning objectives will be posted to the course catalog at
www.usgbc.org/courses. Please, do not change the text type, size or color. Learning objectives should be written so that the learners know specifically what
they should be able to do at the end of the course. Improperly written learning objectives may result in a course application being sent back for revisions.
Please see the Education Provider Guide Addendum - Elements of a Quality Green Building Course for assistance in writing proper learning objectives.
The objectives should be:
• Measurable so that the learners can easily identify if they can or cannot do the action in the objective at the end.
• Achievable so that the learners can actually learn what it takes to meet the objective within the course format, time frame and content.
• Active rather than passive.

Are you applying for LEED Specific Review?:*
Education Reviewing Bodies are responsible for ensuring that all LEED Specific education credits awarded have first been reviewed and verified to reflect the
most current LEED information. To review and verify LEED-Specific courses, USGBC must engage reviewers who are current in USGBC and GBCI developments and policies on the LEED Rating System,
LEED Reference Guides, LEED documentation process and LEED Online.
LEED Specific courses' primary focus is to teach about LEED. Thus, 75% or more of their content is directly related to the current versions of the LEED Rating Systems & Reference Guides
(credits, intents, referenced standards and requirements), LEED certification process and/or LEED Online and directly supports the maintenance of the LEED Professionals applied knowledge of
LEED in a manner that relates to their credential.
LEED Specific Reviews may add additional time to the review process, so please review the LEED Specific review criteria to ensure that your course is in-fact LEED specific before
submitting!
