Green Associate Credential Maintenance
The LEED Green Associate is maintained in two-year cycles. As such, you have two years to meet your continuing education requirements. The end date on this reporting/credentialing period is calculated by adding two years to your exam date and subtracting one day. For example, If you pass your exam on October 16, 2020, your credentialing period ends on October 15, 2022, and the next period begins on October 16, 2022. As of 2021, the credential maintenance renewal fee is $85. If you fail to meet your continuing education requirements, you will have to complete the entire registration and testing process again.
Green Associates are required to complete 15 continuing education hours within each two year period. Twelve (12) of those hours can be “general”, meaning they are related to general green building concepts but not specific to a particular rating system. Three (3) of those hours must be specific to any of the LEED rating systems.
