CREDENTIAL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
The Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) is the process by which LEED APs with specialty and LEED Green Associates renew their LEED credentials every two years through continuing education. LEED Professionals who choose not to complete CMP requirements every two years will forfeit their designation.
The renewal process allows LEED professionals to continue developing professionally within the field of green building, enhancing their resumes and improving job performance. It continues rewarding hard work while renewing the credential holder’s commitment to green building and sustainability.
CMP requirements have been carefully adapted to the daily lives of credential holders, and continuing education hours can be earned in a variety of ways, including:
- Contributing to LEED projects
- Authoring articles and/or books about green building
- Earning related credentials, licenses and/or certificates
- Attending live presentations
- Conducting self-study
Launch the CMP Wizard for assistance navigating through the CMP process.
