FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LEED Green Associate credential?
The LEED Green Associate (GA) is an entry-level credential from the US Green Building Council (USGBC) / GBCI. It demonstrates foundational knowledge of green building practices and the LEED rating system — globally recognised and highly valued on international projects.
Is LEED GA relevant in India?
Yes. Many large commercial projects in India — especially those targeting international tenants or foreign investment — pursue LEED certification. Multinational firms (Infosys, Wipro, Google, Amazon offices in India) often require LEED-certified buildings.
How does LEED GA differ from LEED AP?
LEED GA is the foundational credential demonstrating broad green building knowledge. LEED AP (with a specialty like LEED AP BD+C or LEED AP O+M) is the advanced credential for active project team members. Most professionals start with LEED GA.
What is the exam format?
The LEED GA exam has 100 multiple-choice questions. You need a score of 170/200 to pass. Our course includes full mock exams matching this format.
