Course Description: This full-day LEED Green Associate Exam Preparation Workshop is designed to prepare you to pass the test with confidence - the first time. 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. In addition to delivering the material in a clear and concise format, this workshop presents the types of questions that are asked on the exam so you know what and how to study. We review example scenarios from real world projects to help you better understand and remember the material while giving you an opportunity to put the concepts to practice. One of the best ways to prepare for any test is to work through sample questions. Our workshops conclude with a 30-question in-class practice exam and a full 100-question take-home exam that accurately reflect the types of questions you'll see on the test. Included as part of the training, participants receive a workbook that summarizes the material and allows you to follow the outline of the course.

Required Materials: There are no required materials for this course. It is recommended that at a minimum you read through the Introduction section of the LEED NC Rating System or Reference Guide as well as the LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook to gain a basic level of familiarity before the class. You can download the LEED NC Rating System from USGBC National (www.usgbc.org) and the LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook from GBCI (www.gbci.org). Both downloads are free.
