Hi Tristan ,
I am presently a LEED AP ( BD+C ). I was hoping to write LEED ND and become a LEED AP ( ND ). Should this be also done before June 15th ? Addtionally , can i also assume that project experience is not an eligibility requirement for becoming a LEED AP ( ND ) 2009

Lakshmi, the project experience requirement for LEED 2009 has not been removed, and will remain a factor for exam-takers through June 15th.If you want to get your LEED-ND credential testing on v2009, it seems clear from USGBC that you need to do it by June 15th. You will have the opportunity to do it on v4 material (which is not all that different) after June 30th.The only thing I am not entirely sure of is when the LEED-ND v4 exam will be available, as the candidate handbook has not yet been posted, and the ND v4 rating system is not yet released. However, it seems clear that the v2009 exam will end June 15th.Note that there is not a 2009 or a v4 credential. It's just a matter of what material you are being tested on. Either way, it's a LEED BD+C, etc., credential.By the way, USGBC released two sample exam questions.

Thanks a lot , Tristan. I have decided to take up the V4 version , all in the hope that its not all that different from V2009.
