LEED Exam Training
One of the first steps toward understanding how to effectively apply LEED is to earn the LEED Green Associate or LEED AP credential, demonstrating an understanding of the key concepts outlined in the LEED Reference Guides & related material. With a pass rate of over 95%, GreenStep’s LEED Exam Training workshops have proven highly effective in preparing people to pass the LEED exams while minimizing the study time required.
What sets GreenStep apart? It’s simple, depth of experience and quality of instruction. Every GreenStep workshop is taught by Alex Spilger, President & Founder, who draws from his experience working on over 40 diverse LEED projects to offer practical and engaging workshops designed to prepare you pass the test with confidence - the first time. In addition to his extensive LEED project management experience, Alex has taught over 70 LEED workshops through organizations such as the USGBC, American Institute of Architects, Cushman & Wakefield and UC Berkeley among others, preparing over 1,000 industry professionals to pass the LEED exam. As a testament to our commitment to quality, he continually retakes all versions of the LEED exam (with a high score of 199 out of 200), ensuring that our LEED exam prep courses and related material are as exam-focused as possible. With a pass rate of over 95%, our results speak for themselves.
"Alex, our five staffers that took your class have all taken the exam and passed. We are 5 for 5. As the leader of our company, I knew the day was well worth the investment when we finished up. But the results speak for themselves. We can’t wait to get our feet wet in real world applications. Thanks again for helping our staff down the path of accreditation."
- P. Verdicchio, LEED AP, SEC Planning
In addition to delivering the material in a clear, concise, and engaging format, GreenStep 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 concepts to practice.
When it comes to sample exams and study material, GreenStep believes that quality trumps quantity. All of 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 trainings, participants receive a concise yet comprehensive workbook that summarizes the key material and allows you to follow the outline of the course. We have had multiple participants pass the LEED exam the day after taking our workshop using only GreenStep’s study materials provided.
To schedule a LEED Green Associate, LEED BD+C, LEED ID+C, LEED EBOM, LEED ND or LEED for Homes exam training for your organization, or to inquire about gaining LEED project experience in order to satisfy the new LEED AP exam eligibility requirements please contact us.
