What is Alternative Exam Delivery?
Alternative Exam Delivery (AED) is a program offered by GBCI that allows a group of people to take their LEED credentialing exams at the same time and place.
What formats are available for an AED event?
Computer Lab Delivery events are for groups of students or professionals wishing to take a LEED exam within their campus or office computer lab. This location must meet strict criteria and be approved by GBCI. A Prometric Proctor will oversee the exam administration on the day of the event.
Prometric Test Center events are for groups of students or professionals wishing to take a LEED exam as a group by reserving seats at their preferred Prometric Test Center.

The email will instruct them to schedule their exam on Prometric’s website. Please advise them not to schedule an exam appointment.

All EIDs should be collected, entered into the roster, and emailed to GBCI within at least 30 -45 days of the testing date.
