About the Course
The LEED Exam Prep Course is a comprehensive course which will prepare attendees for the Green Associate and other specialty exams. The day long curriculum is designed to cover the segments of the Green Associate Exam and to lightly cover the AP specialty exams. If you have specific questions regarding a specialty exam, feel free to bring these questions to class and have the instructor cover these identified areas.

Upon completion of the class employees will be eligible to sit for the LEED Green Associate exam at a local testing center.

About the Exam
The Green Associate preparation course will cover most of the material on the LEED Green Associate exam. You should plan to spend an additional 10-20 hours of study time outside of this class. This time will be best spent reviewing the reading materials listed below while paying particular attention to concepts and terminology. The LEED Green Associate Handbookreferences hundreds of pages of reading materials, while this class will focus primarily on the 106-page LEED Core Concepts Guide. As part of this fast-tracked course, we will skim some reading materials and skip other reading materials.
Students who have passed the exam have reported that local study partners and/or study groups have been very helpful.
