Hi Gustavo,

Thanks for your question.

You can earn the LEED GA in any country where the exam is offered. Prometric is the company that administers the testing for the Green Building Certification Institute (aka GBCI).

Prometric's website has a pulldown menu that lists approximately 90 countries where the exam may be taken, from Argentina, Armenia and Canada to Yemen and Zimbabwe. Click here to view those countries.

Some countries offer their own versions of Green Building council specialty credentials, but they are not LEED credentials, per se. Australia's "Green Star Accredited Professional" is an example of this.
