This LEED Green Associate v5 Exam Prep Online program prepares you to pass the NEW LEED Green Associate credentialing exam based on the LEED v5 rating system, launched by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC®) in 2025. USGBC® retired the LEED v4 credentialing exams in April 2026.

The latest version 5 iteration of the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building program emphasizes and rewards project focus on relevant, critical building and sustainability concepts including decarbonization, quality of life, and strengthening communities and ecosystems for years to come.

The LEED Green Associate credential is the entry-level accreditation for anyone interested in green building and sustainable development, and is the first step for those looking to become a LEED AP (Accredited Professional).

This convenient online, on-demand course format allows flexibility in your study plan, completing the units and practice materials at your own pace.

This course includes:

5 hours of engaging online on-demand course content
Digital textbook study guide to hone in your studying
4 full-length practice exams
