About this workshop:
The USGBC Northern California
Chapter, in partnership with GreenStep Education, is offering a full-day LEED
NCv2.2 Exam Preparation Workshop designed to prepare you pass the test
with confidence - the first time.
The workshop will focus on key information necessary to pass the LEED exam, including:
* Credit intents, requirements & submittals
* Project team coordination
* LEED implementation & LEED Online
* Technical credit analysis
* Test taking tips and strategies
In addition to delivering the
material in a clear and concise format, this workshop presents the
types of questions that are asked on the exam so you know what and how
to study. We review example scenarios from real world projects to help
you better understand and remember the material while giving you an
opportunity to put the concepts to practice.
One of the best ways to prepare
for any test is to work through sample questions. Our workshops
conclude with a 25-question in-class practice exam and a full
80-question take-home exam that accurately reflect the types of
questions you'll see on the test.
Included as part of the training,
participants receive a workbook that summarizes the material and allows
you to follow the outline of the course. In addition, participants will
receive access to a live LEED project, giving you the opportunity to
gain valuable experience navigating LEED Online, downloading templates,
assigning credits and researching Credit Interpretation Requests (CIRs).
There are no required materials for this course. It is
recommended that at a minimum you read through the requirements for
each credit/prereq in the Rating System or Reference Guide to gain a
basic level of familiarity before the class, and that you obtain a copy
of the LEED Reference Guide (for the desired rating system) to study
from - it contains almost all the information you need to know. You can
purchase the Reference Guides at the USGBC Store You can download the outline of the Rating System for free from USGBC National, which contains much of the important information covered in the Reference Guide.
Coffee will be provided during the workshop, but please note that we will not be providing breakfast or lunch. The workshop will break during the day, and there are several dining options conveniently located in our immediate area.

(USGBC) and American Institute of Architects (AIA), UC Berkeley
Extension, the Sustainable Building Advisors Program and BCCI

over two dozen green building projects to offer practical and engaging

Proven Results:
"Without reservation, I recommend
Alex's ability to provide LEED exam preparation. Beginning with a
minimal level of knowledge, I successfully passed the exam two weeks
after the course."
Lester G. Meu, Architect, CSI, CCS, CCCA, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP
"GreenStep is the sole reason I
passed the LEED Exam. Without Alex's tutelage, I would not have been
able to pass this difficult test. He was instrumental in helping me
understand the fundamentals and achieve proficiency with the LEED
Rating System."
Garrett Johnson, Assistant Project Manager, Plant Construction
"Alex has a great energy which
comes across in his presentations and a solid knowledge of LEED and
sustainable building design. You will have fun and learn at the same
time."
