LEED Green Associate 2-Day
The LEED Green Associate (GA) 2-day class is an ideal course for individuals wanting to prepare for the LEED Green Associate exam or simply gain a basic understanding of green building design, construction, and operations. The course follows the same outline as the 1-day course, but with more time for questions and review and more in-depth coverage of credit details. Green Associate is the first step in the road to becoming a LEED AP. In just two days CleanEdison instructors will review the credit rating system, the certifying process, and various tips and tricks for passing the exam.
The LEED Green Associate (GA) credential is now an industry standard for green building professionals. This accreditation is designed for professionals who want to demonstrate a basic knowledge of green design, construction, and operations, but who do not necessarily participate in design and construction work. The LEED GA credential is also the prerequisite for those who wish to obtain their LEED AP accreditation.
How to Become a Green Associate in 20 Days:
This credential will make you more marketable to potential employers and clients; it will confirm your general understanding of LEED concepts and sustainable building practices. There are many shades of green, so this accreditation gives the knowledge to implement the many different ways of using less energy, water, and natural resources; creating less waste; and fostering an environment that is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants.

Testimonials
I recently took the LEED GA course with CleanEdison and can safely say that it is the reason that I passed my exam. Being out of school for a number of years, I found that the test-taking strategies the course provides you with are crucial to doing well on the exam; without them it would have been impossible to effectively apply my experience to the test.
-Barbara Collins
I wanted to thank you for all of your help both during class and afterwards answering all of my study questions. After much anxiety I passed with a 186 and even finished 45 minutes early. I'll see you again next month for my O&M Specialty exam!
- Lindsay Herdener
This course helped me organize my studying to where the various elements of the test started to make some sense. I passed with a 189 (room to spare)! I tried studying with the various references available online and books but did not get to where I felt comfortable. Thanks again!
