Student Stories

What our students say

I passed my LEED AP exam on the first attempt after completing Verdeu's LEED certification training. The credit-by-credit breakdown was incredibly thorough, and the exam prep module was exactly what I needed. The practice questions closely mirrored the actual exam format. I can't recommend it highly enough.

As a project manager leading LEED Gold and Platinum projects, I needed deep knowledge across all credit categories. This course delivered. The documentation module saved me hours on our last submittal — I knew exactly what GBCI was looking for. The cost-benefit analysis framework was a bonus I use on every project pitch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official GBCI/USGBC LEED training course?
This course is not officially accredited by GBCI or USGBC. However, it covers the complete LEED v4.1 BD+C framework in depth and provides excellent preparation for both the LEED Green Associate and LEED AP BD+C exams. Many of our students report passing their exams on the first attempt after completing this course.
Which LEED exam should I take — Green Associate or AP?
If you're new to LEED, start with the Green Associate. It demonstrates broad knowledge of green building principles and the LEED system. If you already have project experience and want to specialise, the LEED AP BD+C (Building Design + Construction) is the most popular specialty. This course prepares you for both.
Does this course count toward LEED CE hours?
While this course is not currently GBCI-approved for Continuing Education (CE) hours, we are working toward CE approval. In the meantime, the knowledge you gain is directly applicable to LEED projects and exam preparation. You'll receive a Verdeu Certificate of Completion.
How up-to-date is the content with LEED v4.1?
The course is fully aligned with LEED v4.1 BD+C, which is the current version of the rating system. We update the content whenever USGBC releases addenda or credit updates. Your lifetime access ensures you always have access to the most current material.
I already have a LEED Green Associate. Will this course help with LEED AP?
Absolutely. While Modules 1 and 9 cover foundational topics you may already know, Modules 2-8 provide the detailed credit-by-credit analysis required for the LEED AP specialty exam. The documentation and project case study content is specifically valuable for AP-level preparation.
Can my company purchase this for multiple team members?
Yes. Contact us at verdeu@nanocorp.app for team pricing. We offer volume discounts for teams of 5 or more, and can provide progress tracking and reporting for team leads. Many firms use our course as part of their professional development programme.
