Hello,

We are pursuing this pilot credit for our 45,000 SF project in Buffalo NY. The Contractor's are wondering if there are any viable training options available besides the GPRO option that is listed in the credit language which seems to be the only feasible option for them currently.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

James

There used to be a program called Sustainable Construction Supervisor by NCCER that was a 20 hr course. Not sure if that is acceptable, but I know it was accepted by GBCI for CEU's at one time. I do believe I heard reference to another program but can't find the name of it. I did achieve this pilot credit with GPRO.

Thanks for the reply, I think we are going to end up going with GPRO. The Contractors were hoping there would be more options to choose from but this seems to be the only realistic choice for them. I know they allow for alternate proposed training but if this becomes a regular credit in the future it would be nice if there were more pre-approved choices.
