How to Get LEED Certified

"Getting LEED Certified" is a process that involves incorporating sustainable strategies into BUILDINGS with the goal of earning a LEED Certification label for the building itself. Learn more in our New to LEED? Start Here section.

If you're seeking professional development and marketability for yourself in the green building industry, then you're looking for "LEED Accreditation." And you're in the right place!

The required first step for anyone interested in LEED is to pursue the LEED Green Associate accreditation.

What is a LEED Green Associate? LEED Green Associate is an internationally recognized, professional credential for an individual who has demonstrated his or her understanding of core sustainability strategies as outlined by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.

To become a LEED Green Associate, you will follow these steps:

Step 1: Learn about LEED (this is where Everblue comes in!)

Step 2: Purchase your LEED exam from the U.S. Green Building Council

Step 3: Schedule your testing appointment with Prometric

LEED GA Examination

Dear Sir, I have completed my LEED - GA Exam Preparatory course here in QATAR by last year 2010 April. Is it possible to take the LEED GA Exams now? Is there any changes will be there between last year and current year in the study book since Ihave the USGBC guide released in the year 2009/2010. Is there any major changes in the text book or can I continue with the same this book to appear my LEED GA Exams in QATAR now? Thanks Subbu

LEED GA Examination

Hello and thank you for your question.

As we do not provide the USGBC book for our students (we have in-house course material) we cannot vouch for whether this is suitable for the exam. However, since it has been some time, we do recommend you invest in some Everblue course material to ensure you are fully prepared and up to date on what you need for the exam.

Thank you,
Bana

Future LEED AP

My husband and I are currently enrolled in a local community college, studying Renewable Energy. Because the school is so new to the field we don't believe we are getting the education we are entitled to. We are reaching out to as many resources to provide us with proper guidance. We are enrolled in the August Webinar course with Ever Blue, please let me know what this can do for my husband and I as far as career. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Melissa and Dennis, any information may also be sent to my email.

Future LEED AP

Hello Melissa and Dennis and thank you for your questions.

There are several career paths you can utilize your knowledge of LEED for. Typically, someone already in the construction industry (such as an architect or contractor) will use LEED to enhance their knowledge and offer their customer more services. For those new to the industry, many professionals choose to become LEED consultants to manage the LEED process on a building. To discuss this in more detail, please give us a call at 800 460 2575.

Thank you,
Bana

Leed GA

Hi, I have a degree in interior design, I want to focus my career in green design. Is the LEED GA certification right for me? I have no work experience in this field. So can I still take up the exam? Am I eligible for the certification exam? Mrs. Diaz

Leed GA

Hello Mrs. Diaz, and thank you for your question!

The LEED Green Associate is a fantastic way to transition to sustainable design and construction. Many of our students are interior designers and use their LEED credential to add to their qualifications. It is perfectly fine that you do not have prior experience. Our LEED Green Associate course not only will prepare you thoroughly for the exam, it will qualify you to take the LEED Green Associate exam.

Thank you,
Bana

I do not have any experience working on LEED certified projects, however I do have experience working on LEED Certifiable projects. Could these count as project experience once I am ready to move up to the LEED AP level?

GA exam certificate of eligibility

Hello, I need a certificate of completion for LEED Green Associate Exam eligibility - I would like to take the on-demand webinars since my schedule is a bit sporadic; however, the on-demand webinar description has the following clause:

"If you require a certificate of completion for LEED Green Associate Exam eligibility, we recommend taking a live classroom or live online LEED Green Associate Exam Prep training course."

It says it is "recommended" taking a live course - does that mean it is still possible to take the on-demand webinar and receive the certificate of eligibility?

GA exam certificate of eligibility

Hello and thank you for your question.

It is possible to take the on demand webinar and receive a certificate of completion as we can track the student's viewing of the course and verify that a student completed the training. However, we recommend live classroom or webinar training because it is more interactive and allows students to ask questions regarding the material.

Thank you,
Bana
