About the LEED Exams

Becoming a LEED Green Associate:

The LEED Green Associate exam is the first half of the AP exam. It can be taken independently of the second half by those who are interested in eventually taking the second half and becoming a LEED AP, or by those who are only seeking the LEED Green Associate credential. The LEED Green Associate credential denotes that you have a broad understanding of green building principles and practices.

The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) recommends exposure to LEED and green building concepts through an educational course prior to testing. Upon completion of Kirksey's LEED Green Associate Prep Class, you will be provided with a certificate verifying your attendance as well as study materials for the test.

Becoming a LEED Accredited Professional:

The LEED Accredited Professional exam is a two-part exam, the first part of which is the Green Associate exam. The two parts can be taken independently or together, but candidates must pass both parts to earn the LEED AP credential. Prior experience with a LEED-registered project is no longer required to register for the LEED AP exam. The LEED AP credential with a specialization in Building Design and Construction denotes a practical knowledge of applying LEED to new construction projects. Applicable rating systems within LEED BD+C include New Construction and Major Renovation, Core and Shell Development, Schools, and Healthcare.
