EPA 608 Practice for HVAC Students and Schools
Last checked October 20, 2026
Give your students exam-style practice they can run on their phones, with every answer explained.
Free for every student: Core
Core is part of every EPA 608 certification (40 CFR Part 82, Appendix D). Our Core practice test is free.
Students don't need accounts or email addresses. Share one link with the class, and progress saves on each student's device.
The 10-seat pack
For full practice, the 10-seat pack is $129, one time. Each seat gets the Universal pass:
- Full practice for Core and Types I, II and III
- A timed 100-question mock exam with the same section mix as the real test
- An explanation, a strategy tip and a rule citation on every question
There's no subscription and nothing to renew each term.
10-seat pack
- 10 Universal pass codes, delivered instantly
- Each seat: Types I, II and III, the 100-question mock and free Core
- No accounts needed; progress saves on each device
Built for how students study
- Phone first. One question per screen, with large tap targets.
- Instant feedback. Students see why an answer is right before they move on.
- Rules cited. Each answer links to the section of 40 CFR Part 82 it tests.
- Current rules. Questions follow the current evacuation table and the 2026 leak repair rules, not older versions.
How instructors use it
- Pre-test. Students take the Core test cold in week one. Everyone sees their weak topics.
- Homework. Assign one section a week and have students retry the questions they missed.
- Before exam day. Run a timed 25-question test. Students aiming for 18 or better know where they stand.
What this is, and isn't
This is practice. It doesn't certify anyone.
Your students still take a proctored exam from an EPA-approved certifying program (EPA list of programs). If your school already proctors 608 exams, this fits alongside that.
Apprentices in your program
Registered apprentices can work without certification for up to two years, under close supervision by a certified tech (40 CFR 82.152, 82.161(a)(2)). Earning 608 early keeps that clock from becoming a problem.
Common questions
Do students need an account? No. Core works without one, and progress saves in each student's browser.
Does a seat expire at the end of the term? The pack is a one-time purchase with no subscription.
Can students practice in Spanish? Not yet. English is available now.
Is this the certification exam? No. It's practice for it. The exam comes from an approved certifying program.
