LEED 2009 AP Prerequisite and Testing Changes
By
If you’re thinking about becoming a LEED AP in 2009, now is the time to take the exam. Starting April 1, 2009 the LEED 2.2 standard are expring.
What does this mean to you? Well, a few things.
Multiple Examinations - To become a fully accredited LEED AP, candidates will be required to take a core exam AND a second exam specific to your desired track (NC, EB, CI, etc).
Tiered Accreditation - Under LEED 2009, there will be two levels of accreditation. The first, the LEED Green Associate designation (yes, I catch the ‘greenhorn’ similarity), is awarded after passing the core exam.  The LEED AP accreditation is not awarded until after the specific track exam is passed and the experience requirement is documented.
Experience Requirement - In order to advance from being a Green Associate to an AP, the applicant must have worked on at least 1 LEED certification project in the last 2 years and document the same.
