How does it work?
LEED credentialing uses a tiered system.
Taking the exam
The professional credential exams measure your understanding of green building design, construction and operations. The LEED AP exams also assess your understanding of the LEED rating system and your ability to facilitate the certification process.
Please note that only CaGBC members (Specialist, Advocate and associated Chapter members) are eligible for exam discounts, Individual Chapter members are not.
