What is the Fast Track?
The Fast Track allows LFA enrollees to fulfill all 16 General Credits by uploading an eligible green building credential to their Education Dashboard. Learn how to get started here.
Bottom Line: If you qualify for the Fast Track, you'll only need to complete the Foundational Curriculum in order to earn your LFA.
