Quick Take: What Engineers Value Most About School of PE In 2025

  • High student success: Our students’ average pass rate is 93%, significantly higher than national averages.
  • Delivery built around working professionals: Live Online (instructor-led), OnDemand (virtual lecture videos you can watch anytime), and Onsite (traditional classroom experience).
  • Risk reduction you can feel: We back eligible courses with a comprehensive Pass Guarantee.

Pass Rates in Plain Terms

When candidates ask if School of PE is “worth it,” they’re usually asking about outcomes. Our students’ average pass rate is 93%—well above national averages. That result is powered by focused coverage of exam-relevant topics, structured course formats that keep you on track, and practice designed to feel like the real thing.
What this means for you: If you fully engage with your course—attending Live Online sessions or completing your OnDemand modules and practice—you give yourself a significantly better shot at passing on your target date, avoiding retakes and lost time.

Delivery Methods: Pick the Format That Fits Your Life

Live Online (Instructor-Led)
  • Best for: Accountability and real-time structure.
  • Experience: Join live, instructor-led sessions from wherever you are. You’ll follow a calendar that keeps you moving at a steady pace.
OnDemand (Recorded Lecture Videos)
  • Best for: Irregular work schedules and self-paced learners.
  • Experience: Watch virtual lecture videos anytime, anywhere. Pause, rewind, and review as needed, then reinforce with practice problems and course notes.
Onsite (In-Person)
  • Best for: Learners who prefer a traditional classroom environment.
  • Experience: Attend in-person sessions with an instructor. Availability depends on location and schedule.

What’s Inside a School of PE Course

We design our courses around what will help you pass on exam day:
  • Focused coverage guided by current exam specifications.
  • Virtual lecture videos (OnDemand) and live, instructor-led sessions (Live Online) to match different learning styles.
  • Clear, organized course notes you can rely on during prep.
  • Practice problems that align with the style and pacing of the exam.
  • Pass Guarantee on eligible courses for added peace of mind.

Who Gets the Most Value from School Of PE

  • Working engineers with limited time: Live Online gives you structure; OnDemand lets you work around shifts, site visits, and family time.
  • Engineers several years out of school: If it’s been a while since you’ve seen certain fundamentals, our organized notes and exam-style practice reduce “where do I start?” time.
  • First-time takers aiming to pass on their first try: A clear plan, schedule, and higher than national average pass outcomes help you avoid retakes.
  • Repeat takers: Tighten weak areas with targeted practice and a more structured path to test day.

How to Maximize Your Chances of Passing

  • Complete the full course: Give yourself time to attend all live sessions or finish all OnDemand modules plus the associated practice.
  • Schedule short study sessions: Two or three short sessions on weekdays and one longer block on the weekend often beats a single marathon day.
  • Simulate the exam: Do at least one full-time practice exam.
  • Know your references: Be fluent with the FE Reference Handbook (FE) or your core references (PE) and your calculator.
  • Lock in logistics early: Review your ID requirements, test center route (or check-in steps for online), and calculator policy to remove stress the day of the exam.

Is School of PE Worth It? Framing the ROI

Engineers usually weigh three things: their chance of passing on schedule, the cost of retakes (fees and time), and the long-term career benefits of licensure. With an average student pass rate of 93%, structured delivery options, and a Pass Guarantee on eligible courses—plus the possibility of saving up to $600 during current promotions—many candidates find the expected return compelling. The biggest lever is speed to “pass.” Finishing in one sitting protects your time, your momentum, and your confidence.

  • “After taking the PE one time and failing… I wouldn’t have passed the PE without School of PE. The notes were great to take in the exam, and the practice problems matched up with the exam questions perfectly.” — Mr. B. Lapinsky
  • “To say School of PE was phenomenal would be an understatement. The instructors were outstanding, organized, very helpful and truly wanted to make sure every student was well informed and prepared.” — Mrs. K. Stein
