More About LEED Green Buildings & LEED AP Certification
LEED may be applicable to individuals and/or buildings. An important distinguishing factor to consider is that LEED Accreditation is for individuals while LEED Certification is for buildings.
LEED Accreditation is broken down into 3 separate categories or tiers and is achieved by taking and passing the different LEED exams. Everyone has to first start with LEED Green Associate and from there move on to become a LEED AP with a certain Specialty. The current pass rate for the LEED exams is 34% making a prep course the best option to ensure success when pursuing your accreditation.
LEED Certification is awarded to green building projects that incorporate a significant amount of LEED sustainability strategies. There is essentially a laundry list of concepts an items that a project can do that would benefit the environment. Once a project team decides that they want to attempt LEED certification for their LEED-registered project, they then need to follow numerous requirements to maintain that their project qualifies as a green building through the LEED certification process. There are 4 levels of LEED certification: LEED Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

By Kat B. - Attended class on February 25, 2013
I've never taken an online class before, but Alexis was very personable and got us through a lot of information in just a short period of time. She answered our questions knowledgably and kept the pace going.
I don't know how I'll do on the test, but if I pass on the first go round, it will be thanks to Alexis......and a million hours of studying.
By Matthew S. - Attended class on February 18, 2013
I thought Kimberly was great. She was very helpful and answered all of our questions. If she did not have an immediate answer she researched it and got back to us quickly. She was able to go through the material at an appropriate pace and was just nice to boot. Really enjoyed the experience.
By Kristen M. - Attended class on February 11, 2013
Alexis was great. She kept us involved in the training so you were never bored staring at your screen.
The review questions were very helpful to reinforce what we had just learned.
I feel that as long as I study the study materials provided from the course, I'll be able to pass the LEED AP test no problem.
Thank You!
By Nour A. - Attended class on December 10, 2012
It was a very useful experience, and the instructor was very cooperative.
She clarified the main points and helped in digesting the material well.

The class was not bad but not excellent. It was acceptable.
By Levent O. - Attended class on December 10, 2012
I would give 5 stars. Everything was perfect.
By Banah M. - Attended class on December 10, 2012

By Logan G. - Attended class on December 10, 2012

Con Didn't add a lot of content beyond what was on the slides. Sometimes got off track due to questions
By Roger D. - Attended class on November 13, 2012
Credits were explained effectively, and all questions answered. It was a very good presentation, and will recommend Tiffonie to my agency for future training.
By Kristin L. - Attended class on October 25, 2012
Kimberly was very knowledgeable and helpful. The course covered everything well, and I love the fact that the study guide was sent beforehand in the mail. The only comment I have is that I wish the sessions were recorded so that we could then go back through and listen at our own pace and spend more time on the information we may have more difficulties with.
By Brian R. - Attended class on September 21, 2012
Kimberly had a good answer to almost every question. Her extensive LEED project experience really helped her in providing accurate and detailed answers for the groups questions
By Shakia H. - Attended class on July 31, 2012
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful and offered lots of help even after the course was over. She helped me get a great score on the exam.
By Ronny D. - Attended class on July 10, 2012
It was all I was expecting it to be.
Kimberly was an excellent teacher.
By Hyunmin O. - Attended class on July 10, 2012
The webinar was well prepared and organized, but was not enough to give students the theme of the real exam questions. The reason why more than half of the first exam takers fail is that they do not understand to study the concepts rather than just memorizing numbers, I think.
By Tracy A. - Attended class on June 18, 2012
Kim did a great job! She had a great attitude and kept the course ontime and as fun as it can be It was challenging communicating through the chat function, but she was always mindful of it. Thanks!
By Catherine B. - Attended class on June 7, 2012
The instructor was really good and focused on what would be covered on the LEED APBDC exam. The study material is comprehensive and goes over each section on the exam. Very through course, similar to the LEED GA exam prep webinar but focuses on the LEED APBDC exam.
By Tyler H. - Attended class on June 7, 2012
Very good presentation of the LEED rating system. Instructor had good insight and was very helpful in preparing for the LEED APBDC Exam.
By John t. - Attended class on April 10, 2012
Very well prepared and very thorough.
By Nirupama L. - Attended class on April 10, 2012
The instructor was good. Although 3 days of 2.5 hrs would have been better. Would have had more time for questions and discussing case studies.
