Wayne Yancey Senior Member Username: wayne_yancey Post Number: 820 Registered: 01-2008 Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 - 05:33 pm:    No. That would be the next step. I am a LEED Green Associate. In LEED world I have a Tier 1: Entry level credential. the next step is to be a LEED AP + a specialty which is Tier 2.

(“LEED GA” is not an approved abbreviation for the LEED Green Associate credential, and should not be used under any circumstances.) As soon as you have passed the specialty exam, you must use the title “LEED AP®” followed by your specialty(ies) (BD+C, O+M, ID+C, ND, Homes) and/or the corresponding logo(s). For example: LEED AP BD+C, LEED AP O+M, LEED AP ID+C. The term “LEED Accredited Professional” is never to be used. You should no longer use LEED Green Associate as the LEED AP with specialty credential supersedes the LEED Green Associate credential."
