Maintaining Credentials by Retesting
LEED Green Associates or LEED APs will not be required to sit for additional examinations after fulfilling initial credentialing examination. However, LEED Professionals do have the option of maintaining their credential through retesting without completing continuing education.
LEED Professionals maintaining through retesting must:
- Apply for the applicable exam (including meeting eligibility requirements and paying the application fee)
- Register for an exam appointment
- Take and pass the exam between 3 and 12 months from the end of their reporting period (including the paying the applicable exam fee)
NOTE: LEED Green Associates are required to take the LEED Green Associate exam; LEED APs are required to take only the LEED specialty exam.
Expiration
If LEED Professionals wait until their credential expires (24 months after their exam date) they must test like all new candidates. They will not maintain the same cycle reporting period; a new reporting period will begin on their exam date if they pass the exam. Also, individuals whose LEED AP credential has expired must retake both parts (LEED Green Associate and specialty exam) of their exam to regain the credential.
