Question 1

Will Fieldora Academy get me a state license?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How long does it take to prepare for the exam?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do I get lifetime access?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What's your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Do I need any experience to start?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Is the practice exam like the real one?

Accepted Answer

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.
