Instructor support in every unit
Every unit opens with an instructor panel. Ask a question at 11pm and the answer comes from the text you're reading, cited back to the article or section it came from — the way an instructor points you to the code book instead of guessing. Ask for a diagram of a circuit, a piping run, a refrigerant cycle or a weld joint and it draws one.
It keeps track of the topics you miss and drills them, runs timed exam simulations under real clock pressure, takes voice questions and photos of your work, and teaches in Spanish. Included with every course, free ones too; a daily question limit applies.

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.
