LEED professional exams are computer-based, multiple-choice examinations. In both the Tier I (LEED Green Associate) and Tier II (LEED AP+) exams, candidates are given two (2) hours to take and complete the exam.

Individuals may choose to take both the Tier I and Tier II exams in one sitting if they wish, in which case they will have 4 hours to complete both parts of the exam, or they may take them sequentially, or choose to take only the Tier I, LEED Green Associate exam.

LEED professional credential exams are administered by Prometric, which is a nationwide professional testing center with locations throughout the United States. The exams are computer based and administered on location at Prometric testing centers.

Individuals taking the LEED exams at Prometric testing centers must bring several forms of ID confirming their identity and are not allowed to bring any personal belongings into the exam area. Lockers are provided for personal belongings.
