Accreditation will become a reality on Friday June 5, 2009, when the very first industry professionals will write the inaugural GRP Accreditation Exam during the 7th Annual Greening Rooftops for Sustainable Communities conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Toward this end, GRHC’s Accreditation Test Committee comprised of 13 professionals drawn from multiple professional backgrounds have been working hard to develop an exam that reflects all of the major areas of knowledge required to successfully design, install and maintain a green roof. The GRP designation will allow individuals to differentiate themselves in the market while also establishing multi-disciplinary standards for knowledge within the industry. Take the first step to becoming one of the premier Green Roof Professionals in North America by registering for the inaugural test at GRHC’s annual conference at www.greenroofs.org. Completion of GRHC’s professional training courses 101 through to 401 is highly recommended prior to taking the exam. The cost of the exam is $395 and, in addition to Atlanta, will be offered in four cities in 2009: Chicago, New York, Toronto and Seattle.
