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.

How do I apply for an AED event?

Submit an AED application at least 90 days before a Prometric Test Center event or at least 120 days before a Computer Lab Delivery Event.

  • Review the Sponsor Guidelines for the room setup. 

  • Identify three preferred dates and times.

  • Review and fill out the GBCI AED application, including test environment details (e.g., dimensions and photos).

What fees may be incurred if I organize an AED event?

Prometric Test Center: You will be responsible for a seat-blocking fee and the exam price per candidate. GBCI will invoice you for these fees before the event. The invoice must be paid prior to GBCI scheduling the event. 

Computer Lab Delivery: You will be responsible for the proctor fees, the proctor’s travel expenses (actuals), and the exam price per candidate. GBCI will invoice you for these fees before the event. The invoice must be paid prior to GBCI scheduling the event.

How will exam candidates register for the exam?

  1. Each exam candidate needs to create a usgbc.org account.

  2. GBCI will provide a promo code for the candidates to apply when submitting their information. After submitting the exam registration form, each candidate will receive an exam confirmation email from USGBC with their exam eligibility ID (EID). The email will instruct them to schedule their exam on Prometric’s website. Please advise them not to schedule an exam appointment.

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