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.

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.

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

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

No, as the exam is proctored, you cannot use any notes when you attempt the exam.

We also recommend you to finish your attempt and only then move away from your phone's camera as we need to see your face throughout the exam.
