LACSI SUSTAINABLE COMMITTEE

[IN COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OF MANHATTAN BEACH]

‘LEED EXAM TRAINING CLASS’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LACSI Sustainability Committee plans to offer a LEED Green Associate Exam

Certification Class Friday the 18th of June 2010 at the Manhattan Beach Police-
Fire Conference Room in the City of Manhattan Beach. Participants interested
in becoming a LEED AP are first required to pass the LEED Green Associate
Exam so this is the place to start the process. Later in the fall of 2010 a LEED
AP specialty Exam Preparation Class is being planned to be offered. Seating is
limited, thus, reservations are on a first come / first paid basis. LACSI is grateful
to the City of Manhattan Beach for allowing us to participate with them in this
Program offering. This is a unique first time opportunity for LACSI to engage in
a venture of this type with a municipal agency. Your support and participation
in making this a success will enable us to do more such program offerings in the
future.

The full day course will be delivered in a clear concise format covering types of questions asked
during the LEED GA Exam. Example scenarios of real world projects will assist in understanding and
remembering the material, and provide opportunity to place into practice.

Workshop to conclude with 30 question in-class practice exam and full 100 question take-home exam
that reflects the exam’s delivery format. Participants will receive a workbook and outline of the course
that summarizes the materials.

Architectural Licensing Intern Development Program (IDP) candidates can earn supplementary
education credit(s) (elective credit[s]) for attending this program. IDP credits can be used to complete
requirements for IDP hour’s credit. This program is not designed to meet or be preparation for the
NCARB ARE.
