Prove What You Can Do

Anyone can say they're ready for the trades. Four real assessments, taken in order, gives you something to actually show for it. Work Style tells you and a contractor how you naturally operate. Trade Match points you toward the right trade instead of a guess. Soft Skills and Customer Service prove you already know how to handle the parts of the job that never show up in a classroom.

A contractor hiring for an entry level spot sees a stack of resumes that all say the same thing, willing to learn, hard worker, team player. Every single one of those words means nothing on their own. A finished assessment profile means something, because it's the same test every other applicant had the chance to take, and most of them didn't. That gap is exactly where you get noticed.

This also cuts both ways. A contractor taking a chance on someone new is taking a real risk, wasted training time, a bad culture fit, someone who quits in the first month. Walking in with proof of how you communicate, how you handle a frustrated customer, and how seriously you take the work removes a lot of that risk before the interview even starts. Finish all four, and you're not walking into an interview with a feeling, you're walking in with real results a contractor can see.

Ready to go further? The DISC Assessment digs even deeper into how you communicate and lead, a more advanced credential coming once that partnership is in place.

Before you build skills, figure out where they actually belong. These two tools help you find the trade and the path that fits, no matter where you're starting from.

Transferable Skills Translator

Never worked in the trades? Twelve questions find the trade ready skills you already have from any background, retail, military, warehouse work, caregiving, even a rough chapter you're rebuilding from. Built especially for career changers and anyone who assumes every door is already closed to them. It usually isn't.

Trade Match Quiz

Sixteen questions covering all eight trades, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drain cleaning, roofing, garage door, landscape, and painting. Rather than forcing one answer, results show your top trade match plus one or two you might also like, since real interests overlap more than a single verdict admits.

* Find Your Fit tools are for personal career exploration. They aren't designed or intended for employer hiring decisions.

Twenty-five questions across ten practical skills: fractions, conversions, area and volume, pitch, electrical math, and estimating. A confidence check shows whether you knew an answer or guessed.

Fourteen questions across seven core safety topics, based on published federal OSHA standards, from fall protection to confined spaces. Not OSHA training or certification.

* For employers: any test used in hiring must relate to the job, must not ask discriminatory or invasive personal questions, and should be given the same way to every applicant. Rules vary by state. Check with your HR advisor or your state's labor laws.

Most modern trade businesses run on ServiceTitan. This certification tests your ability to use it in the field, job notes, customer info, and the tools you'll touch on every call. Pass it, and you walk into an interview already speaking the language every ServiceTitan shop runs on.

Coverage includes the tasks you'll actually do: creating and updating job records, communicating with dispatch, using the technician app in the field, and following the workflow contractors already run their business on. If a shop uses ServiceTitan, and most modern ones do, this proves you can hit the ground running on day one.

Anyone can claim they took a class. Almost nobody can prove it the way this does. Complete all four assessments in the Core Pathway and you don't walk away with a participation certificate, you walk away with a real, verifiable credential built specifically for the trades.

Your certificate carries your name, the date you completed it, exactly which assessments you passed, and a unique verification code tied only to you. Download it, print it, attach it to a resume, post it to LinkedIn, or hand it directly to a contractor mid interview.

This isn't a badge that just sits in an inbox. It's built to be checked. Any contractor who wants to confirm it's real can type your verification code into our Verify a Credential page and see exactly what you completed, no guesswork, no benefit of the doubt required on their end. That's the whole point, you shouldn't have to ask someone to just trust you.

What's on your certificate: Your full name. The date you completed the pathway. Every assessment you passed, listed by name. A unique verification code, checkable anytime.

Contractors can confirm any certificate on our Verify a Credential page.
