For professionals who want to demonstrate green
building expertise in non-technical fields of
practice, GBCI has created the LEED Green
Associate credential, which denotes basic
knowledge of green design, construction, and
operations.

LEED AP
The LEED AP
credential will continue to signify an advanced
depth of knowledge in green building practices; it
also will reflect the ability to specialize in a
particular LEED Rating System. The LEED AP
exam is divided into two parts. The first part is the
LEED Green Associate exam, which demonstrates
general knowledge of green building practices.
The second part is a specialty exam based on one
of the LEED Rating Systems.
