How do I acquire certification and what is the time and money required
Hi George,
I assume that you are talking about certification as a Sustainability Professional. I obtained my certification through the International Society of Sustainability Professionals (www.sustainabilityprofessionals.org). The cost varies depending on whether you are a member or not, but if I recall, it was $2000-3000, and took a little less than a year. It involves a number of month-long (once per week) online classes, and a few additional one-time webinars. You can get more information at http://www.sustainabilityprofessionals.org/issp-certificate-programs.
