Certified Green Consultant

The Certified Green Consultant Training Course

Here’s the problem! No one really knows what “Green” stands for. Just ask around, and you will hear answers about saving the earth, using less oil, installing CFL bulbs, or installing Green roofs on a building. None of these are Green issues in the truest sense of the word, and that is where your education is going to start. Not only are most cleaning services ignorant, Corporate America is woefully ignorant while giving lip service to the need for environmental issues.

How about “Carbon Offset?” Are they real or a scam? Do they detract from Green Awareness by corporations, or are they really a good idea? You see, there is a lot to learn about the issues that impact business. Does having Green Seal products make a Green cleaning service? What are the hot issues that make a product Green, and how easy is it to lie to the public about the Green value of a cleaning product? How do you measure a Green building, and what are the real issues that most buildings are violating daily? Is the Green Office created by the janitorial service, participating in a local Green festival that gives out CFL bulbs, or because they are working on a LEED certification.

Listen! There is a lot of misunderstanding about Green right now, and it is not only confusing customers, it is impacting your business. Green Seal and LEED have made all these issues so complicated that you (the janitorial service) have become the ignorant tail of a much larger agenda controlled by the architects, engineers, and power operations. Green is being hijacked, and it is time to bring this thing back to its roots. We offer the Green Consultant™ program in a three day intensive training program that will make you the “Most Knowledgeable Person” about Green in your community. More than that, we are going to teach you how to turn up the heat using our Green Marketing program.

Who Should take the Green Consultant Training?

This is quite frankly an open door to those who are ready to step into a high-demand business. You may be involved in real estate, or home inspection. Perhaps, you have a background in janitorial, HVAC, or construction. Anyone with a heart for environmentalism is welcome. The real question is whether you see your future working with businesses anxious to Go Green, and whether you enjoy being the person in your community that will guide, advise, and train Green Businesses.

The Value of Green Consultant Training

This is something very new. We are preparing a new industry professional to step into the corporate environment and make a huge difference. You will be the first to receive the Green Awareness training that you will be able to offer to businesses in your area by hosting your own event or privately for companies paying your fee.

You will be trained to evaluate and certify Green Buildings under our trademark program. This is NOT a LEED program, but something that is very powerful for the vast majority of businesses that you have in your community.

You will have the authority to act as a Certified Green Consultant™ for any organization for a fee, and assist in our Green Management program of Greening any facility.

In case you are wondering, this is new and it is innovative. It is also one of the hottest topics in the market today. There is a Green vacuum out there right now and a great deal of confusion. As states and cities press for more Green businesses to step up, there is a tremendous need for professionals who have the education and credentials to provide the information and guidance that will enable real corporate Greening.

The Power of Training

Green consultant is comprehensive, and will make you a knowledgeable professional in your community. In fact, you cannot find this material anywhere else. It has been designed and developed by EcoEducation Center. Training is easily accomplished online. It is better than you can imagine.

The eighteen modules cover three training sections that allows the student to proceed at their own pace. The latter part of the meeting stresses the business building and money making opportunities, which are best seen and heard in person.

Business development is an important part of this program. This project is designed to be about building your business using techniques that have been tested and perfected through years of experience. We literally provide a year-long support program.

The Certified Green Consultant training is developed in the same three stages that the consultant will introduce to participating companies.  Workers take the one-day "Green Awareness,"  Managers and decision-makers also take "Green Management."  The in-house Green officer(s) also take the Green Officer training to earn a CSO status.

In other words, this is a mentoring program teaching companies to develop a true Green awareness and follow proven steps to create a highly-effective sustainability plan.  As a Certified Green Consultant, you are paid as an outside mentor or coach to provide the training and the support throughout the year
