The GA Exam
I am currently enrolled to take your webinar course this month and was curious (when I am prepared to take the GA Exam) if there is an additional fee other than the one paid for the course, study sheets and exam questions?
The GA Exam
There is a $50 registration fee you pay to the GBCI and either a $200 (USGBC non-member) fee or $150 (USGBC member) fee paid to the test center, Prometric.
LEED Green Associate Prerequisite
Hi, I am an architect from India, currently in WISCONSIN, USA. I would like to know the eligibility criteria to take this exam.
LEED Green Associate Prerequisite
Hello and thank you for your interest.
To qualify for the LEED Green Associate Exam you either need experience on a LEED registered project or a certificate of exam eligibility that you earn from LEED exam prep through Everblue. Therefore, if you do not have experience on a LEED project, taking Everblue's LEED Green Associate exam prep will qualify you for the exam.
When is the Green Associate Exam
After I take the Green Associate Course, how quickly can I take the exam to become a GA?
When is the Green Associate Exam
Hello and thank you for your interest in Everblue training.
Once you have completed our training, you will receive your certificate of completion needed to register for your exam. Exams are taken at Prometric testing facilities, so when you take your test depends on what availability the testing center will have for your appointment. Typically, we recommend students study for 2-3 weeks before taking there exam, therefore if you register in advance you should find a suitable time and date 2-3 weeks before your test date.
Thank you,
Bana

Showroom Work Count as LEED Experience?
Hi, I worked in a to the trade only showroom where we sellsubstainable fabrics. I want to become LEED certified. Does my work experience there count? I've been there for 9 years.
Showroom Work Count as LEED Experience?
Hello and thank you for your question.
The GBCI would like a letter of attestation that you have worked on a LEED registered project. Therefore, if in your career you have worked alongside a LEED registered project with the sales of your fabrics, this could be adequate. We always recommend checking with the GBCI to ensure you do not have any issues with your application.
Also keep in mind our LEED Green Associate exam prep course qualifies you to take the LEED Green Associate exam, so unless you are planning to take the LEED AP as well, you would be good to go!
Thank you,
Bana

Hello and thank you for your question.
As we do not provide the USGBC book for our students (we have in-house course material) we cannot vouch for whether this is suitable for the exam. However, since it has been some time, we do recommend you invest in some Everblue course material to ensure you are fully prepared and up to date on what you need for the exam.

Future LEED AP
My husband and I are currently enrolled in a local community college, studying Renewable Energy. Because the school is so new to the field we don't believe we are getting the education we are entitled to. We are reaching out to as many resources to provide us with proper guidance. We are enrolled in the August Webinar course with Ever Blue, please let me know what this can do for my husband and I as far as career. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Melissa and Dennis, any information may also be sent to my email.
Future LEED AP
Hello Melissa and Dennis and thank you for your questions.
There are several career paths you can utilize your knowledge of LEED for. Typically, someone already in the construction industry (such as an architect or contractor) will use LEED to enhance their knowledge and offer their customer more services. For those new to the industry, many professionals choose to become LEED consultants to manage the LEED process on a building. To discuss this in more detail, please give us a call at 800 460 2575.
Thank you,
Bana
