The Prep Course includes:

Crash Courses
  • The Crash Courses include questions ranging from Code Issues to Design, Engineering, and Construction topics. Each Course covers every topic listed by NCEES.org.
Resource Library
  • The Library contains over 1,000 pages of resources, references, links, and study material to help you prepare for the exam and concurrently assemble your own Test-Prep Resource Library©. The Library has information on every topic listed at NCEES.org and is arranged to allow for easy navigation. Although you are no longer allowed to bring outside resources into the exam, putting together a Test-Prep Resource Library© is an especially important way to prepare for the exam and therefore, organize your preparation materials.

NOTE: although you are no longer allowed to bring outside information into the testing center, we still highly recommend putting together a Test-Prep Resource Library. It will help you organize your materials, aid in your review, be invaluable in the event you have to retake the exam, and will be an excellent resource in your business.


Practice Exam
  • The Practice Exam is an 80-question Test-Day simulation that will significantly help you prepare for the actual experience.
Review Course
  • The Civil Engineering Construction PE Exam Review Course is a 60-lesson intensive study of every topic on the exam (as per NCEES.org). Each lesson comes with instruction, homework, links to related sites, examples, and sample practice problems.
  • Furthermore, the Review Course has 15 Section Review Quizzes and an 80-question Final Exam.
Review Course Final Exam
  • At the end of the Review Course, there is an 80-question Final Exam. This exam will undoubtedly expose your strengths and weaknesses.

Basically, this is a process. If you will spend time every day, work the problems, and assemble the resources … you will be successful.

If there is anything we can do for you specifically, please do not hesitate to ask.

In addition, this package may qualify for up to 60 PDH (Professional Development Hours)/6.0 CEU (Continuing Education Units).

Check HERE to verify your state board’s acceptance of this course for PDH/CEU credit.

An end-of-course examination, with a minimum score of 70%, is required to obtain the PDH/CEU credits.
