Re: Leed Ap


There are no education or experience requirements- you just register for the test, and go take it. The test is computer-based, and you get your results instantly. I will caution you though, that it's not a very easy test (been there, passed that....lol)- there's alot of "which three of the following are applicable" type questions, as well as alot of questions requiring you to remember percentages, standard numbers, etc. You really want to download the study guide and reference guide from the USGBC website and spend a good amount of time studying.

Re: Leed Ap


I am currently studing for the LEED AP Commercial Interior certification. If you visit the USGBC website there are several links to LEED information including ordering books. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who is certified and was able to forward on flash cards and sample tests to for me to use. If you would like, I can forward the sample info to you.

I just took an online class throught the Boston Arch. College - High Performance Design and the LEED Rating System. It's a good prep for taking the test

Re: Leed Ap


They changed the test. I hear it's much more difficult now, particularly because there are alot of application questions. I hear you need a substantial amount of time prepping for this one. Buy the Colorado test book too. It seems to be the best one out there. Also you'll need the reference book (big one).

Good Luck!

Re: Leed Ap


I have the colorado sample tests. The girl I got them from said that they are harder than the real test. That's good preparation.
