GreenCE is a USGBC Education Partner and has developed the most comprehensive LEED Green Associate Exam Prep in the industry. LEED Green Associate is the introductory-level credential for LEED, and demonstrates a general understanding of all the LEED rating systems. This 8-hour seminar provides an introduction to green building and sustainable design principles, specifically as they relate to the LEED rating system. The LEED Green Associate credential is the required first step in becoming a LEED accredited professional. Our mission is for you to pass the LEED v4 exam the first time. GreenCE’s team of LEED professionals have worked on multiple LEED projects and incorporate real life experience and case studies into the seminar. These seminars are live, interactive presentations where students can ask questions and propose solutions to design issues. As a USGBC Education Partner, GreenCE is able to include exclusive tools to help students master the LEED rating system and pass the exam.
1) 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.
2) Participants can use our certificate of completion for self-reporting the 8 contact hours of instruction for continuing education.
3) GreenCE's Green Associate Seminar is an interactive, intimate and intense collaborative learning experience including analysis of real-world examples of LEED principles and certified projects; study techniques that will help you become exam-prepared in as little as 20 hours; supplementary study materials; on-going phone/email support from your instructor until your test date; and more!
