Why attend a GPRO training?
“The GPRO training was an amazing experience! The class covers a wealth of information: What is Sustainability, Measuring Building Performance, Climate Change, and a history of the environmental movement (just to name a few). The instructors are well versed in the subject matter. A professional training manual is provided and it’s an excellent reference for all things related to green building, sustainability, conservation, and more! I attended the training at Metro headquarters in downtown Los Angeles (adjacent to Union Station). They offer classes that are open to the public! After taking the GPRO training I have a better understanding of how green building can positively impact the environment, communities, and jobs. I recommend this class for anyone interested in creating opportunities for growth in your career.”
