The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Civil exam is run by NCEES. It is a computer-based exam of 110 questions in a 6-hour appointment (5 hours 20 minutes of exam time, with a 25-minute break). You book the day and time that suits you at a Pearson VUE center.

The course assumes no prior knowledge and explains every exam topic from the start, so it suits fresh graduates and engineers who graduated years ago.
