Reviews for USGBC-NCC Faculty Member: Alex Spilger

“Alex, our five staffers that took your class have all taken the exam and passed. We are 5 for 5. As the leader of our company, I knew the day was well worth the investment when we finished up. But the results speak for themselves. We can’t wait to get our feet wet in real world applications. Thanks again for helping our staff down the path of accreditation.” - P. Verdicchio, LEED AP, SEC Planning

“Alex's teaching style is concise yet engaging. He has a wide breadth of knowledge about the LEED rating system and is eager to pass this along to his students. His class was a valuable learning tool that helped me pass the LEED exam on my first try.” - Karen Buse, LEED AP, Architect

“Alex Spilger's practical knowledge and first-hand experience make him an engaging and effective LEED instructor. The real-world examples provided in class opened up the full range of challenges and opportunities for building under LEED guidelines in ways that the reference guide alone could not. I highly recommend Alex as an instructor.” - Maureen Ladley, LEED AP, Real Estate Strategy Consultant

“I just took the exam and passed with a score of 181! As an architect and attorney, I’m a veteran of many licensing exams and associated prep classes. I must tell you, your course is one of the very best I’ve taken. It was very concise and well focused, with great exam-specific content. I was able to prepare effectively solely from the materials you provided. I would heartily recommend your course to anyone hoping to obtain a passing score. Many thanks.” - R. Reiss, esq. AIA NCARB LEED AP
