leed ap logo


The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), in accordance with the G.I. Bill, has agreed to reimburse Veterans, eligible dependents and reservists for the cost of LEED Professional Exams administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).  Individuals planning to take a LEED Professional Exam must apply directly to the VA for reimbursement. Under this agreement, the VA will cover up to $2,000 per exam. Anyone who took a LEED Professional Exam after December 3, 2008 is eligible for reimbursement.

“We are honored to be a part of the VA’s aggressive effort to help Veterans gain the skills and credentials required for full participation in the new, green economy,” said Peter Templeton, President, GBCI. “For those veterans who are pursuing a career in green building or a related field, this support for attaining LEED credentials can go a long way in helping them achieve their professional goals, and GBCI is proud to play a part in their future success.”

    This is a great idea. Everyone keeps bashing the VA for not supporting the veterans enough, but at least the VA has this covered. Everblue Training Institute is a veteran-owned company that provides LEED exam preparation. They also provide unemployment assistance. No matter how it's done, let's get people accredited and into jobs!
