New LEED Testing Deadline

WASHINGTON – June 30, 2009 will be the last date that candidates can take the current LEED for New Construction (NC) and LEED for Commercial Interiors (CI) version 2.0 LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) credentialing exams.

As part of the changes to the accreditation process announced at the end of 2008 the LEED for New Construction designation will be replaced with the LEED Building Design and Construction (BD+C) designation and the LEED for Commercial Interiors designation will be replaced by LEED for Interior Design and Construction (ID+C). Read the FAQs for more information about these changes.

In order to maintain alignment with the new LEED 2009 Ratings System for BD+C and ID+C, all new exam registrations must be submitted and accepted by GBCI no later than March 31, 2009 (11:59 PM, EST) to take the current LEED AP exams scheduled by June 30, 2009 (11:59 PM, EST).
