AIA Europe chapter member Les Jordan AIA of Vienna reports that he has successfully passed the LEED Green Associate exam without leaving Austria, through testing provider Prometric 1, which has testing facilities worldwide.
Jordan notes:
[H]e ordered the study material online through green-buildings.com 2 which provides a comprehensive study book (PDF download), mp3s, practice tests, and an 8-hour online seminar, which will give you the education requirements you need in order to apply for the exam.
The study package he selected took about 6 weeks of studying on my free time; I passed with about a 93%.Les sought LEED certification with the intent that his practice will capture a a new project in the Middle East, with the experience on that project helping him prepare for the LEED AP exams. He notes however that additional online courses are available for the AP education requirements as well.

Among the changes to CES reporting at the Institute for 2012 is an increase in health, safety, and welfare (HSW) continuing education hours (CEH) from 8 to 12. For architect members of the AIA, the total yearly requirement of 18 CEHs remains the same. Read more: The American Institute of Architects - 2012 Health, Safety, Welfare and Self-reporting Changes, Education.
What's a great way to get those hours? Attend an AIA Europe Conference in 2012 in Israel or Hamburg.
