LEED Study Groups
Green Associate Exam

For those interested in becoming LEED™ Accredited, this is an early step in the process. Once you have completed a USGBC course on Green Building Basics and LEED™, you are eligible to sit for the Green Associate Exam. This 5 class course is designed as a facilitated study group to prepare you for the exam. It contains a general overview of Green Building Basics and the LEED™ Process, but the bulk of the class will be sample exam question and answer review. Participants are expected to have some awareness of LEED™ and the process in general, and to be preparing to take the exam.
