For Technicians

The Skill Verification Exam

The Skill Ready Techs Competency Exam is the core of the platform. Pass it and you earn a shareable Tech Verified Card — evidence of what you actually know, not a paperwork exercise.

Exam Format

Section 1 — Multiple Choice

50 questions. Coverage spans refrigeration theory, electrical diagnostics, heating, airflow, general troubleshooting, and safety and EPA regulations.

You need 80% (40 of 50) to pass this section.

Section 2 — Scenarios

5 troubleshooting scenarios. Each describes a real service call — symptoms, readings, conditions — and asks what you would conclude or do next.

You need 60% (3 of 5) to pass this section.

Both sections are scored separately and you must pass both.

60 Minutes

A single timed sitting for all 55 questions. The timer runs continuously once you begin.

Randomized Every Attempt

Question order and answer order are shuffled fresh on every single attempt, so no two sittings — and no two candidates — ever see the same paper in the same sequence.

Unlimited Attempts

Take the exam as many times as you need. There is never a retake fee and never a waiting period between attempts.

Attempts and Results

01

Unlimited attempts, always at no charge

You can sit the exam as many times as it takes. There is no retake fee, no attempt allowance to use up, and no waiting period before you can try again — if you want to go again the same day, you can.

02

Every attempt is a different paper

Questions are drawn and shuffled fresh each time you start, and the answer options are reordered too. Two attempts never run in the same sequence, so passing means you know the material rather than that you memorized where the answers sat last time.

03

Passing generates your Tech Verified Card

Built automatically from your results and profile, and shareable with any employer. Combined with EPA 608 verification, it is what makes your profile visible in employer search.
