Real feedback from the first wave of Academy students. Reviews from logged-in students appear on each course page.
"The load-calc walkthroughs finally clicked for me. Passed my journeyman on the first try after two failed attempts with another prep book."

"EPA 608 Core and Type I in two weekends. The practice exams felt harder than the real thing — exactly what I needed."
Lina R.

"Business & Law was the section I was most afraid of. The mock exams told me exactly where I was weak. Saved me a $300 retake fee."

Career prep, not a license.
Fieldora Academy provides exam preparation and trade education. Completion does not grant a state license and is not a substitute for required apprenticeship hours or board-administered exams. Always verify current requirements with your state licensing authority before you sit for an exam or accept work.

Frequently asked questions
Everything students ask before enrolling.
Will Fieldora Academy get me a state license?+
No. Only your state licensing board can issue a license. Academy gives you exam prep, practice exams, and a certificate of completion — you still take the official proctored exam through your state.
How long does it take to prepare for the exam?+
Most students finish a Journeyman or EPA 608 track in 20–40 hours of study spread over 4–8 weeks. Master-level tracks typically take 40–60 hours. You move at your own pace — there are no deadlines.
Do I get lifetime access?+
Yes. Every paid track is a one-time purchase with lifetime access and free updates whenever the underlying code (NEC, IPC, EPA 608, NABCEP) is revised.
What's your refund policy?+
If you're not satisfied within 14 days and haven't completed more than 25% of the course, we'll refund you in full. Contact support@fieldorahq.com.
Do I need any experience to start?+
No. Every trade has a free '101' beginner course that assumes zero experience. Paid Journeyman tracks assume you understand the basics — start with the free course first if you're new.
Is the practice exam like the real one?+
Yes. Practice exams mirror the timing, question count, and topic weighting of PSI, Prov, NASCLA, and state board exams. Most students who score 70%+ on our practice exam pass the real one on the first try.
Every state has different rules.
