"I have to say it was a great pleasure to attend your class. The real world stories scattered into the material provided a reality check to why I was actually at the class in the first place. I felt you delivered the material perfectly and I have not stopped talking about the class since I left to just about anyone that will give me an ear on the subject. Includes colleagues at work, as well as family and friends. I am very excited about the upcoming LEEP AP class I have scheduled with Everblue." - Anthony Campbell
"I just want to take a moment to say how I enjoyed the webinar presented by Mr. Greg Hamra. He definitely has the gift of teaching! The whole system was so organized, very easy to use (both audio and video) and most importantly, the course contents are so comprehensive that I found everything I needed to pass my exam and span your knowledge about sustainability and green architecture. I look forward to take LEED AP classes as well in the near future. Thank you Everblue for the incredible job!" - Golnaz Mozafari

Hi,

Hi KC, thanks for your message. The LEED AP Interior Design & Construction (ID&C for short) is actually an advanced designation. First, you must take and pass the LEED Green Associate exam. Thankfully, you're on the right page! This page is about LEED Green Associate Exam Prep training. During this course, we'll teach you all about the LEED Rating System and the LEED Certification process. You'll notice that we offer the training in several formats. We don't currently offer an in-person course in Singapore, but there are still options for you. We have a self-paced online course, an instructor-led live webinar series, and we can host a onsite corporate training event in Singapore if you have a group of 10+ who need the training. If you're interested in learning more about the first two options, please scroll up and click the blue Learn More button under the SELF Study section or the blue Learn More button under the LIVE Training section. If you're interested in corporate training, please send us an email to info@everbluetraining.com with the number of participants, how soon you want the training, where you are located, and whether you can host the training onsite. Thanks!

Unfortunately we do not have any in-person classes scheduled in Delhi, India at this time. We do, however, offer two different types of online training. One option is self-paced. The other option is called a Live Webinar, meaning that you get the same teacher-student instruction and interaction but the course is offered in real time over the Internet. Please click the blue Learn More buttons above to learn more about both options. Thanks for your question!

Hi Rawan, thanks for your question! At this time, we do not offer any "open enrollment" (in person) courses in London. That said, we can absolutely host a private session if you have a team of 10 or more employees in need of this training. We could schedule a group session at your facility in London. Please email us at info@everbluetraining.com to get a formal proposal and quote for this option.
Otherwise, we offer two versions of online training that you might find interesting:
One is a 4-part live webinar series. We offer the exact same course as our in-person training, only it's delivered in real time over the Internet! You'll be able to ask questions and get answers in real time from the comfort of your home or work computer. Just join us on the four dates/times of the session. You can find upcoming live webinar sessions here: https://www.everbluetraining.com/leed/green-associate-exam-prep/registration
We also offer a self-paced online course. With this option, you gain instant access to all of the course materials through our secure online learning platform. You'll be able to log in and participate any time from anywhere for 6 months. You can register and get started immediately here: https://www.everbluetraining.com/leed-green-associate-self-study-materials

The USGBC offers a All-Inclusive LEED v4 Green Associate Exam Prep on their site for $199. What is the difference between that course and this one to justify the higher cost?
Thanks
Submitted by Lesley@Everblue3 Posted on Mon, 2018-07-30 10:38.
Great question! In 2014, USGBC chose Everblue from its roster of Education Partners to create the first LEED v4 Exam Prep package (to align with the launch of the new LEED v4 rating system and credentialing exams). The result is the product you see on the USGBC website. To participate in that training, you buy the course directly from USGBC and access the course on the USGBC platform. At the time that this product was created – again, in 2014 – the USGBC platform was unable to host secondary materials, such as interactive practice questions and PDFs, in addition to the LEED Exam Prep presentation.
So the two main differences between our LEED Green Associate Exam Prep webinar (on our website) and the one featured on the USGBC website is:
(1) the USGBC product is outdated. The product advertised here on the Everblue website was just updated in May 2018.
(2) the USGBC product does not include any study materials or practice questions with the presentation. The product advertised here on the Everblue website DOES INCLUDE 500+ recently updated practice questions and LEED credit memorization sheets.
Thanks again for your question. If you have any other questions about our course features, please give us a call at 877-741-9382.
I passed my LEED GA exam today with a 178! Hey not bad for studying 9 days. I wouldn't have done it without the Everblue practice test. I purchased the first 400 and then the additional 300. Studied with the questions, LEED reference guides, study guide and core. Off to LEED AP BD+C now before I forget everything :)
I'm interested in taking up the necessary education for the LEED Green Associate exam - I've seen your website and it mentions live webinars - seeing as I'm on another time zone, (shout out from the Philippines!) would I still be able to take the necessary classes for that?
Submitted by Lesley@Everblue3 Posted on Mon, 2018-02-12 10:29.
Yes, absolutely! We offer our live webinars in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone. You'll see that we've scheduled multiple times for the live webinars - morning, noon, and night - so you should be able to find a session that works for you!
I've already registered for your webinar training course.
Are you going to mail me the materials for the class, when can I receive them?
After the online class, how can I register for the exam? How should I prove to them that I have completed the training from Everblue and qualified for an exam?
All of our course materials are available within our secure online learning system. If you've already registered, you should have received an automated email from our system with your unique username and password to log in.
Upon completion of the course, you will have access in your Everblue course portal to print your certificate of completion. We also provide instructions for how to sign up for the LEED exam inside our course portal.
You can never go wrong with being more informed. If your mission is to learn ways to have a more eco-friendly space, you can learn about many ways to accomplish this goal just by attending our course.
After you complete this course and want to take the exam, is it an open book exam or not? If it is an open book, does your course supply the book when you sign up?
The LEED exams are not open book and is administered by a third party that the GBCI maintains a relationship with called Prometric Testing Centers. The Everblue LEED Green Associate manual that is delivered to each student was created in house by our knowledgeable instructors and geared to assist students in understanding LEED standards and passing the LEED Green Associate exam.

I'm looking forward to registering for June LEED GA course in Miami. I'm traveling to Miami from the Caribbean for the Prep class would I also have to come back to Miami to take the test?

I am an architect with a master degree in project management. My graduation thesis was about developing a green building rating system for my country. This involved in depth study of LEED among other rating systems with a comprehensive comparison between their points. Does that qualify me to take the LEED GA exam?
It was a year ago so, do I need to take a course or not?
I currently live in Dubai.
Your experience working on a LEED project will be very helpful. However, I would also suggest that you participate in a concentrated LEED Exam Prep activity to make sure that you are knowledgeable about the LEED Credit requirements and the idiosyncrasies therein.

I would like to obtain a LEED GA. Are there any training courses offered in San Jose CA? How can I register and prepare for this exam? Can you please assist me with some information and cost?
Thank you,

Katrina, we offer our LEED training courses across the country and in multiple online formats. Please visit our Training Locations page to find upcoming options in San Jose/San Francisco. You can register right there, and obtain the information and pricing information you seek. You can also call us at 800-460-2575 to register.
Thank you for your interest in LEED. Our best advice would be to take an online Webinar for your studies, as we do not currently offer any local courses in your area.
I am currently enrolled to take your webinar course this month and was curious (when I am prepared to take the GA Exam) if there is an additional fee other than the one paid for the course, study sheets and exam questions?

Once you have completed our training, you will receive your certificate of completion needed to register for your exam. Exams are taken at Prometric testing facilities, so when you take your test depends on what availability the testing center will have for your appointment. Typically, we recommend students study for 2-3 weeks before taking there exam, therefore if you register in advance you should find a suitable time and date 2-3 weeks before your test date.
At this time we are not offering courses in Nigeria, but we can confidently recommend an alternative which is our online LEED Green Associate Training.
Do I need to prep for the 2 day seminar LEED Prep?? or can I just sign up and take it. There is one on Oct 13-14 in Seattle and I would like to take it. I am in Vancouver but it is next week. Not sure if I need to study first
There is no prior studying needed before our training, but we will provide you with a little pre course reading material to get your familiar with the material. If you would like to register, you may do so online or by calling us at 800 460 2575.
Hi, I worked in a to the trade only showroom where we sellsubstainable fabrics. I want to become LEED certified. Does my work experience there count? I've been there for 9 years.

You will have the most chance of success by intentionally preparing for the exam.
