Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme

Upskilling, recognising, and empowering green building professionals.

Last updated on 18 May 2026

BCA collaborated with industry stakeholders to enhance the former BCA Green Mark Specialist Scheme into the new Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme. This scheme is now administered by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and came into effect on 1 July 2019. It serves as a broad-based pathway for professionals seeking accreditation in holistic green building design, management, and operations, aligned with BCA Green Mark framework.

Past Green Professional Scheme

Green Mark Specialist Scheme (before 1 July 2019)

The Building and Construction Authority (BCA), together with industry stakeholders has developed the Construction Industry Transformation Map (ITM) to shape the future economy of Singapore. One key thrust is the upscaling of professionalism and upgrading of skills of the workforce. The Built Environment sector is expected to have 25,000 trained professionals by 2025 supporting the Green Building pillar of the Construction ITM.

BCA has collaborated with SGBC to review and enhance the Green Mark Specialist Scheme to the new 'Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme', administered by SGBC. This was announced in September 2018 at the Singapore Green Building Week, which took effect from 1 July 2019. Under SGBC's administration, key enhancements are made to refresh the Scheme, including a change in the naming convention of our Green Mark specialists (please refer to the table below).
