LEED Green Associate: One Day Exam Prep

                             Tuesday, December 6

     

  

This comprehensive one day workshop will give you the  information you need to study, prepare and pass the LEED Green Associate exam. Passing the LEED GA exam shows that you have mastered the fundamental building blocks necessary to utilize green design, construction, operations and third party rating systems.  The LEED GA credential will increase your marketability and is the first step in becoming a LEED professional. The first half of the workshop covers all learning points of the exam. The second half reviews the 14 primary references the exam is based on.

  • Participants need to bring laptops
  • Slide packet and practice exam included
  • Required textbooks: Green Associate Study Guide and the LEED Core Concepts Guide

Textbooks can be purchased through the following link: USGBC Store
