Frequently asked questions
What is the 90-Day Hiring Season Pass?
It's a one-time $59 purchase that unlocks everything for 90 days — roughly one full hiring cycle, from the written exam through the CPAT to the oral board. It is not a subscription: nothing auto-renews, and when the 90 days are up access simply ends. Most candidates need this for a season, not forever, so it's the plan we point people to first.
Is there really a free trial?
Yes. The monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You enter a card, get full access immediately, and aren't charged until day 8. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing. The Season Pass, annual plan, and Oral Board Intensive are charged up front instead — all are covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — from your account or the Stripe billing portal. Cancel during the trial and you're never charged; cancel later and you keep access through the period you've paid for. The Season Pass and the Intensive are one-time purchases with nothing to cancel.
I'm already a member — did my price just go up?
No. If you're on an active subscription you keep the rate you signed up at for as long as that subscription stays active. New prices apply to new members only.
Do I need a credit card just to look around?
No. Create a free preview account with no card to see the guides and a sample test, and run one full AI oral-board sample. The 7-day trial (card required) unlocks the full training tools.
Is this only for firefighters?
It's built fire-first — the oral board, written exam, and CPAT tools are the core — but it also includes EMT and paramedic (NREMT-style) prep for candidates who need certification too.
Who built it?
A working Firefighter/Paramedic and former U.S. Navy Search-and-Rescue medic who's been through the written exams, physical tests, and oral boards at multiple departments himself.
