PE Prep Series Coming to MeyerFire University!

6/26/2024

 
Much of the MeyerFire.com concept started as a simple website around P.E. Exam preparation – that is – helpful articles, resources, and a book to help us all pass the Fire Protection Principles & Practice of Engineering Exam (P.E. Exam).

We still support that effort today, now about nine years later.

We have a book (the PE Prep Guide, now in it’s 8th Edition) and the PE Prep Series (20 weeks of online practice questions).

I’m very excited to announce today that we’re upgrading that experience in a very big way in incorporating and upgrading our PE Prep Series into a complete exam prep experience inside MeyerFire University.

WHY ADD PE PREP TO MEYERFIRE UNIVERSITY?
Everything for the PE Prep space has simply been listening to you. I personally was very frustrated with the lack of quantity of materials when I took the Fire Protection P.E. Exam in 2014, and the following year sold maybe a dozen copies of a formula sheet I put together to help organize and clarify different formulas.

Well, in listening to those who used it – the next year we added 100 questions and wrapped the formulas into the first edition of the PE Prep Guide (2016).

That book was rough! Very rough. We had something like 20 to 30 different errata updates all based on questions and feedback about the book.

But – we listened, improved, and with a lot of community help – the book improved. In 2017 there were still many updates that needed to be made. Every mistake was like a little knife jab in my side – I felt every one. But I listened, re-wrote, published the errata and updated the book each year.

The PE Prep Guide has turned into the #1 selling book in the Fire Protection PE Prep space. You might recognize it on the shelf of someone who’s taken the exam in the last few years. It’s helped many people pass the exam.

We did the same with the PE Prep Series.

It came about in 2018 when feedback kept coming back about more practice – more questions – more immediate feedback. That, and, we wanted a fun way to know where we stand as things progressed.

That’s where the PE Prep Series came from.

And now?

REAL-TIME ANALYTICS, GUIDED STUDY, BETTER PRACTICE
Again, based on your feedback – we’ve sought ways to give you real-time analytics across the different subject matter. We’ve sought ways to help guide your study to be more productive and see more immediate improvement in weaker areas.

We’ve sought ways to help you build towards the PE Exam at any time, rather than a couple months out of the year.

Why couldn’t an EIT be working towards the PE all the time? Over the course of a few years without a major time burden, but rather be learning, growing, and increasing understanding all the time?

What if someone coming out of school could immediately see a path to the PE? And, at any time, know where they stand and the likelihood of them passing the exam today?

That’s the line of logic where we ventured – and the answer is that we have that data.

We now know what the odds of passing look like based on how you prepare and grow. And we can give that right back to you with each step along the way.

That’s where I’m excited to announce that we’ll have an entire PE Prep Series (learning content, practice questions, guided self-study, worked solutions, live analytics, leaderboards, and exams) right inside MeyerFire University – at no extra cost.

In the next few months be on the lookout for course material specific to the Fire Protection PE Exam with MeyerFire University.

Our current timetable is to have all of our added content on MeyerFire University by the end of September 2024; plenty of time to learn and grow for the April 2025 Exam.

BUT JOE - I’M NOT INTERESTED IN THE PE?
Maybe the P.E. Exam, specifically, is not of interest to you. That’s OK!

The hope of having the prep material available (again, at no additional cost) and living inside of MeyerFire University is that you can access it. You can test yourself against FPE’s and FPE candidates. You can learn as much as you want in that space.

The exam? It’s a credential. A big one – but it’s just that – a credential.

If you want the knowledge, the understanding, the personal growth? Well – that’s our whole goal of MeyerFire University to begin with. Unlimited learning.

If you’re in the back corner of the office and aren’t exactly getting the opportunities to grow or train or be mentored – well, we’re calling your name! We want you here; learn what you want to learn, when you want to learn it. Challenge and invest in yourself. That’s entirely the point of creating the platform to begin with.
 
I am beyond excited about creating a resource like this – it’s exactly what I would have wanted to prepare for the exam. To challenge myself, know my standing (immediately), see a path to pass, and have a little fun with it along the way.

WHAT ABOUT NICET?
What about NICET?

We love NICET; and we hear you when you’re asking for more and more in that space.

We’re listening, and we’re working towards it all the time. There’s not a timetable that we’re ready to announce just yet, but do know that if it’s what you want to see, then it’s what we want to create.

 
A BIG THANK YOU
A big thank you, as always, for the ideas, tips, constructive feedback, and community support.

This entire platform wouldn’t exist without you and the passion that we collectively have for the fire protection industry. We’re excited to push the envelope and help us all do great work in fire safety in the world. Thanks!

- Joe

NICET Exam
Ever since creating the PE Tools and CFPS Tools list, we've been questioned about building a similar list of all resources for the NICET fire protection exams. We're happy to announce that our NICET Tools page is now live!
