Costa Rica's Bandera Azul is the country's most recognized sustainability seal. Earning it — and renewing it every year — means your whole team has to know the criteria. We keep them trained, so you keep your flag.
Some of the organizations we’ve worked with.







Why it matters
Bandera Azul isn't awarded once — it's re-evaluated every year against a detailed set of criteria. Teams change, people leave, and the standard keeps rising. The organizations that hold onto their flag are the ones whose whole team understands what's being measured and why. That's exactly what this course is for: keeping everyone trained, year after year, so renewal isn't a scramble.
Bandera Azul Ecológica has recognized environmental commitment across Costa Rica for decades — beaches, communities, businesses and more.
Recognition has to be earned again each year — which is why one-off training rarely holds up, and a trained team does.
How GME helps
Most teams pay a consultant to walk them through the criteria every year. This course gives you that knowledge in-house — for a fraction of the cost, on your schedule.
Training mapped to what Bandera Azul actually assesses — practical preparation, not generic sustainability theory.
Enroll everyone who needs to be renewal-ready — each person gets their own access and certificate, and the per-person price drops as the team grows.
Recurring on-site consulting adds up fast. Owning your team's readiness costs far less and stays with you.
Delivered in Spanish for Costa Rican teams, with a CPD-certified certificate of completion for everyone who finishes.
Pricing
One-time, per person. Everyone on your team gets their own access and certificate — and the per-person price drops as your team grows.

Questions
No — and we're careful to be clear about that. Bandera Azul is awarded by the national program, not by Green My Experience. What we do is train your team to understand and meet the criteria, so you go into evaluation prepared. The flag itself is the program's to award.
A full year of access to the training, mapped to the program criteria, plus a certificate of completion for each person who finishes. Enroll everyone who needs to be renewal-ready.
Per person, one-time — the price of a course. The per-person price drops as your team grows; for a whole team, get a team quote and we’ll confirm it.
A consultant typically trains a few people once and leaves — and you pay again next cycle. Here you pay once, your whole team is trained, and you can re-train for every renewal — a fraction of recurring consulting, with the knowledge staying in-house.
You enroll one seat per person. If your team grows, just add seats for the new people — the per-person price still follows the volume scale.
