    LEED AP BD+C Exam Prep Course Overview

    With 15 hours of expert video instruction, this LEED AP BD+C exam prep course is designed to make you truly learn the real-life application of LEED prerequisites and credits through observation, and bring you to a point that you can actively apply them in real life. Once the first goal is accomplished, the second goal will easily follow. And that goal is to make you pass the exam on your first try, without any stress.

    Even though the scope of the LEED AP BD+C exam includes heavy technical terms and principles that may seem confusing at first, this course enables the test taker to fully grasp the information by simply demonstrating it. All of the chapters contain guidance on the aspects that require extensive attention, while we will point out the finer details to focus on for the exam purposes.

    The case studies throughout this LEED AP BD+C exam prep course will demonstrate the real-life application of LEED requirements. At the end of the course, the online practice tests (300 questions) will test and reinforce knowledge and the LEED AP BD+C study sheets (PDF) will summarize the most critical information that will be needed during the actual exam.

    See What Other Customers Are Saying About This Course

    "Despite starting out with almost no LEED knowledge, the course helped me earn a great score on the BD+C exam within just three weeks. The exam content is extensive and the course covers every bit of information you're likely to encounter. The exam tips at the end of each topic are invaluable, summarizing all the key points you need to know."

    Verified Rating

    "I started this course with just a basic understanding of green building principles and I was struggling with this exam due to the lack of proper resources. I’m so glad I found this course and I passed with a 189! The course's guidance on which aspects required extensive attention versus which details to focus on specifically for the exam was invaluable. Don’t rely on other brands; their courses are poorly crafted in comparison."

    Verified Rating

    "This course covers everything you need to pass the LEED AP BD+C exam and probably offers the most comprehensive content out there. Instead of just focusing on individual credit requirements, the course showed how everything fits together in the certification process. The practice tests were challenging and comprehensive, covering all the major categories proportionally. I passed on my first try."

    Verified Rating

    "After postponing my exam twice due to feeling unprepared, this course gave me the confidence to finally take the test and PASSED with a score of 190! The 15 hours of instruction built my understanding systematically, demonstrating how LEED requirements translate to actual building performance. The practice questions thoroughly covered all exam topics and closely mirrored the actual exam. Good luck!"

    Verified Rating

    "Bottom Line: I passed the LEED AP BD+C exam on my first try with a score of 192/200, and this course was my sole study resource. Unlike other prep materials that focus on memorization, this course demonstrates the real-life application of LEED requirements through excellent case studies. The technical terminology that initially intimidated me became logical once I understood the underlying principles. Worth every minute invested!"
