Individuals in becoming a LEED AP must go to the Green Building Certification Institute website at http://www.GBCI.org and follow the instructions for LEED Professional Credentials.

It is important to note that all candidates seeking to become LEED Accredited Professionals ("LEED APs") must first take and pass the Tier I exam for LEED Green Associate before taking the LEED AP exam. Once an individual has passed the LEED Green Associate exam, he or she has earned that credential. Individuals may then decide to proceed with taking the Tier II, LEED AP exam. Exams may be taken on separate dates or consecutively in one exam session.
