The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

A personal credential in designing and operating sustainable buildings under the LEED system: energy and water efficiency, materials, indoor environmental quality and site. It starts with a general foundation level, then a specialist level in which the professional chooses a track.

Who it suits

Architects, building engineers, consultants and facility managers, and anyone working on projects that require a sustainability certification.

What it requires

The foundation level has no prerequisite; the specialist level assumes involvement in a project registered in the system.

How it is earned

One exam per level, booked on the council's website; the reference material is published, and many candidates take a short preparatory course.
