Workshop Description

Distinguish yourself with a LEED Credential

Join the momentum of the emerging green building movement and distinguish yourself with the new LEED Associate credential. The LEED Green Associate credential is for professionals who want to demonstrate green building expertise in non-technical fields of practice. This credential focuses on basic knowledge of green design, construction, and operations.

USGBC-NCC’s full-day LEED Green Associate Exam Preparation Workshop is designed to prepare you to pass the test with confidence--the first time. Participants will receive an eligibility certificate to take the LEED Green Associate exam upon completion of this course.

The workshop will focus on the key information necessary to pass the LEED Green Associate exam, including: LEED implementation process, project site factors, water management, energy impacts, synergistic opportunities, stakeholder involvement in innovation, project surroundings, public outreach & test taking tips and strategies.
