EPA FAQS

With a membership or a free trial, all of the courses in our app, including the EPA 608 course and exam, is included with your membership! You can choose whichever exam you need to take: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, or Universal.

Once you've passed one of the EPA exams, you can purchase an EPA 608 card of the type you've passed for $50 through our payment page.

Please note that if you do not have the certification on your profile, we will not be able to process your shipment, and your order will be refunded to you.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@skillcatapp.com.

Here's the breakdown of each EPA 608 exam. You do have to answer 25 Core questions for each exam, and all the sections will be mixed together. You need a 70% total on any of these exams to pass.

Universal: 25 Core + 25 Type I + 25 Type II + 25 Type III = 100 questions.

Type 1: 25 Core + 25 Type I = 50 questions.

Type 2: 25 Core + 25 Type II = 50 questions.

Type 3: 25 Core + 25 Type III = 50 questions.

Yes! We are an official EPA issuer, and earning the EPA 608 certificate with us will be earning the actual certification. You can see us on the EPA's list of official testers, approved November 2020: Section 608 Technician Certification Programs | US EPA.

You can verify your EPA 608 certificate on our database here: SkillCat Verify Certificate

Please note that your EPA 608 certificate will not show up on another institution's website, or the EPA website. Each issuer is required to hold their own database of 608 certificates, so yours can be searched up in our database.

If you run into any issues, please feel free to reach out to us at info@skillcatapp.com.

It's very possible that you, your employer, or the supply house searched up your certificate number on the wrong website. Below are two common places that users mistakenly search on:

1) A website that looks like the official EPA website but isn't

2) A page on the official EPA website, but for a different certification (e.g. EPA Lead Certification)

Every EPA 608 issuer is required to hold their own database for 608 certificates, so you can verify yours here: SkillCat Verify Certificate
