LEED Green Associate (GA) Exam Training

This one day workshop prepares you to pass Part 1 of the LEED
Accredited Professional Exam - LEED Green Associate. The Green
Associate credential is essential for anyone who wants to prove their
familiarity with the green building industry and mandatory for anyone
planning to purse the LEED AP+ Specialty designation.

Participants will receive an eligibility certificate to take the LEED
Green Associate exam upon completion of this course.

LEED AP+ Building Design & Construction (BD&C) Exam Training

Replacing the LEED AP for New Construction exam track, this specialty
provides a standard for professionals participating in the design and
construction phases of high-performance, healthful, durable,
affordable and environmentally sound buildings. This workshop
prepares you for Part II of the LEED Accredited Professional Exam and
covers in detail every LEED prerequisite and credit, the mechanics of
LEED, basic green building methods and systems likely to appear on the
exam.

Please be aware you must have verifiable LEED project experience
within the last three years to sit for this exam. Certified or
registered LEED project experience applies.

Combine Your Training
If you have LEED project experience, but hold no LEED accreditation,
the KY USGBC is offering the opportunity for you to prepare for both
of these exams at a discounted rate..

You must pass both Part I (LEED Green Associate) and Part II (LEED AP+
specialty) to earn the LEED AP+ credential.

Passing the LEED Green Associate Exam, even for experienced LEED
practitioners, is not a forgone conclusion. Please be prepared the
first time.

Biomimicry Introductory Session
This 1.5 hour overview provided by Nicole Isle, a student of
Biomimicry founder Janine Benyus, is as a primer on the philosophy of
Biomimicry and its power as a design tool. Hopefully, this session
will inspire you to further investigate how to apply this tool to your
own design challenges. Biomimicry Institute info here.
