LEED-AP Wanna-be's

Surely you’ve heard the news? The existing LEED rating systems – all of them except Homes – are being revised. USGBC members received an email this week; the rest of you can visit the LEED 2009 page on the USGBC website for a summary of the key points of the changes.

Potential test takers need to know that “the current versions of the LEED AP exams will be available through 2008, but beginning in early 2009, after the new version of LEED launches, the AP Exams will be updated to reflect the changes. Updated LEED Workshops that reflect LEED 2009 will be offered beginning at USGBC’s annual Greenbuild Conference & Expo in Boston during November of this year.”

There you go – straight from the source. Last time the exam changed there was a mad rush of folks eager to take the current test and the LEED AP numbers skyrocketed – currently well over 50,000. How high will it go?

The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) administers the exam and the LEED AP program.
