Corporate Training By Zack Academy - LEED Green Associate and LEED AP BD+C Combined Exam Prep

Please Note:  THIS EXAM PREP COURSE IS FULLY UPDATED FOR LEED VERSION 4.0!

The USGBC credentialing exams are being updated to align with the new LEED v4.0 rating system. The last day to take the LEED 2009 (v3) exams is June 15th. The first day to take the LEED v4 exams is June 30th.

The LEED Green Associate Exam and the LEED AP BD+C Exam must both be passed in order to achieve the LEED AP BD+C credential. This comprehensive, 1-day, 8-hour LEED Exam Prep Course is the lowest-cost, most time-efficient way to prepare for these two popular LEED exams.

This course combines the most important information from The Green Associate Exam Handbook and USGBC's BD+C Reference Guide into an accessible, comprehensive workshop, creating a focused and organized study path for exam candidates.

Why Should You Attend This LEED Green Associate and LEED AP BD+C Combined Exam Prep Seminar?

LEED Green Associate:  The Green Associate Exam Handbook contains over a dozen separate documents and resources that are considered "primary sources" for the exam. This seminar combines the most important information from these resources into an accessible, comprehensive workshop, creating a focused and organized study path for exam candidates.

While Green Associate accreditation is not necessary for existing LEED AP's, all AIA members who attend our Green Associate Seminar will receive 8.0 HSW credits (4 of which satisfy the Sustainable Design requirement)! Non-AIA members can use our certificate of completion for self-reporting the 8 contact hours of instruction.

LEED AP BD+C:  The LEED AP BD+C credentialing exam tests individuals on the extensive, highly technical information found in USGBC's BD+C Reference Guide. This course highlights the most important information you need to tackle for the exam, and provides you with a clear study path and strategy for success.

During the course, you will learn about real-world examples of LEED principles and certified projects; study techniques that will help you become exam-prepared for both exams in as little as 40 hours; you will receive supplementary study materials; on-going phone/email support from your instructor until your test date; and more!
