LEED AP^® Building Design + Construction Credential Maintenance

A LEED AP^® BD+C is required to take a total of 30 CE (continuing education) hours biennially; 6 LEED-specific hours and 24 LEED General hours. Among the ways to earn CE hours is Education, either GBCI Approved Education or Unapproved Education. GBCI now allows LEED APs with Specialty to take an unlimited amount of either to meet credentialing requirements, while encouraging participants to take approved education where possible. Nowhere will you find as many FREE GBCI Approved courses than here, at AEC Daily.

LEED General and LEED Specific courses will be listed below. The majority of these courses are NOT LEED specific. Any LEED Specific courses will be noted.
