Passed with an hour left.
This course was amazing. I bought the 3 month course bundle. The tips and tricks direct hub provides is very helpful. The materials are exactly what you need and the amount of detail on each problem and quiz was beyond helpful. I was able to finish the exam with an hour left on timer and ended up passing. I could be more thankful for Farouq and this course. It was so worth it.
Great Resurce worth the Money!!
Here’s a polished rephrase:
I’m incredibly grateful to Farouq at Directhub for providing a platform that truly supports people like me who struggled to pass this exam. Being ten years out of school, working full-time, and having a three-year-old at home made the process extremely challenging. But through this platform, I was able to dive into the concepts and focus on understanding them instead of just memorizing. Farouq’s live support and quick responses to every question were a tremendous help. I honestly wish I had taken this course on my first attempt; I could have saved two years of effort. But I’m thankful to finally have this behind me.
Tips to Pass your FE Civil Exam – Passed the FE CIVIL Exam
I took the Fe civil exam prep course for 6 months with Directhub and it is a GAME CHANGER!!. One of the thing that I like the most from the course is how detailed and how it covers every single topic that you must know before taking the exam. The quizzes after every study topic is a MUST. Additionally, one of the best tips I can give you before your journey of studying, is to make sure you are accountable of the days of study, for myself having a calendar with the days that I will covering the respective subject, the days that I will take a break, etc. its very useful, as it makes yourself accountable of your study, it enforces you to keep track of the study sessions (3hr minimum. per day without distractions). Another tip, is study well the fundamentals (theoretical and concepts) of each topic, nowadays, a lot of questions in the fe are conceptual questions; Believe me, they are easy points, if you know the fundamentals. ALSO, a key and fundamental thing you should do before taking the exam, is that two weeks before your exam, take the DIRECTHUB full-length practice exam and if you can purchase the NCEES interactive practice exams, that will give you a lot of material to practice before the real exam day, (Believe me, treat “the real exam day, just like another practice full-length exam” and you should be fine). And final tip on exam day and one of the most important in my opinion that help me pass, does not matter if you know all the knowledge and you can recall everything for the exam, the importance of taking these exam under time pressure is the TECHNIQUE of taking this exams, follow this method if you like, a 3-run method, 1st run do the easy problems and flag the rest, do not ever get stuck on a problem, if you don’t know at first glance just flag them and later you will have time to solve them. 2nd-run – do the flagged problems that are more involved in calculations and solve them and finally do a 3rd run, where they seem hard and more involved, if you don’t know how to tackle those problem its ok (I guess several problems that weren’t easy; its ok if you forget how to approach some or few problems), do your best on a estimate and/or guess for those questions (answer every questions out of 110, even if you do not know some of them).
Best Choice I Could’ve made
Before I enrolled in this program I had taken my FE twice, once while I was still in school and the other 3 months after. I was using PrepFE to study, but I didn’t feel I was fully grasping concepts and was not studying to my fullest potential. After I failed my second attempt I realized I needed more direction. I saw an ad for DirectHub and decided to compare it to tother FE study programs and what I saw was that it was affordable and gave plenty of practice (in some cases, more than other programs that were charging more!). The lessons were in-depth and super useful, and you are guided through the whole process, which for me was helpful because I’m a person that needs structure, and the layout of the program was very well thought out. the quizzes after each section really help with understanding your ability on a topic and the practice exams were hard but definitely useful. I studied for 3 months doing lessons every night and in the last month I took 3 practice exams. The 2 provided prepared me well for the NCEES practice exam I purchased as well, which I got a 61% on. When I sat for my FE this time I felt I knew the concepts, where to find things in the handbook, how to effectively use my time, how to “take the test”, and if all else failed and I didn’t know the answer I could at least narrow it down to 2 answers thanks to all the lessons I had learned from the program. All-in-all I’m super glad I decided to choose this program and now can officially say I have passed my FE thanks to all this help!
DirectHub is amazing!
After trying several FE prep resources, I can confidently say DirectHub stands in a league of its own. The course not only helped me pass my FE Civil exam but also made me feel genuinely confident in my technical understanding.
What I appreciated most was how clear and concept-driven the lessons are — every topic is broken down in a way that actually helps you understand rather than just memorize formulas. The practice problems and full-length exams simulate the real NCEES format perfectly, so when I sat for my actual test, nothing felt unfamiliar.
Another huge plus is Farouq’s teaching style — he explains complex topics in such a simple, intuitive way. His support through Q&A and the DirectHub community made a big difference, especially during those stressful final weeks.
I genuinely learned more through DirectHub than I did in some of my college classes. If you’re serious about passing the FE, this course is worth every penny — and more.
Successful journey with amazing instructor!
Successful journey with amazing instructor!
I started my study journey after 20 years away from college with master degree in engineering, I just passed my FE exam this week with 1st attempt with direct hub and I would like to thank our amazing instructor Farouk for his efforts with videos and examples and all problems, I studied for 10 months and prepared myself with solving 1000 questions prepared by Farouk so I can handle the exam questions.
Again thank you Farouk and wish you and all your students all the best.
Strongly recommend directhub for success engineering.
I don’t even know where to begin…
I don’t even know where to begin. After five years out of school, I finally passed the FE exam on my second attempt, and I truly would not have been able to do it without Farouq and his course. This exam had felt like a monkey on my back for years. When I found Farouq’s prep course through a random Reddit post, I had already spent nine exhausting months trying to teach myself all 14 topics on my own, using another course and resources that left me more confused than before. Nothing came close to the clarity and support I found with Farouq. From the minute I reached out, Farouq went above and beyond what you’d expect from an online prep teacher. He replied quickly, often always the same day or at the latest the next morning. He always made me feel that no question was too small or off-topic. He never once made me feel silly for asking something, unlike my previous experience with another course where my questions always went unanswered. At the start of the course, I watched all of the intro videos and I was blown away by all of the helpful information. No one has ever told me how to study and Farouq gives you all the steps you need to study efficiently, not just going through the motions. Each section has its own quiz to test your knowledge right away. When I didn’t do as well as I hoped on the statics and dynamics sections, Farouq was there with encouragement and honest feedback, helping me focus on what I needed to improve and motivating me to keep pushing forward. What makes Farouq’s course stand out is that he truly cares about every single student passing this exam, sometimes more than we do ourselves! If you ask him a question about a problem that you are not understanding, he doesn’t just give you an answer; he explains why the answer is what it is, or even records a video breaking it down step by step. He checks in with students regularly, even two days before my exam, he reached out just to see how I was feeling. I also loved reading other students’ questions and Farouq’s detailed replies. Often, someone would ask something I hadn’t even thought of or suggest a quicker way to solve a problem. Farouq would then create a new solution video so we could see both approaches. He’s always updating and refining the course to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. For my first attempt, I was working full-time while studying, often before work, after work, and all weekend. My exam day was just before Christmas 2024, and it didn’t go as I had hoped. I was beyond crushed. A few weeks later, I reached out to Farouq to explain my situation and find out more about his course to see if it would be a good fit for me. To my surprise, he didn’t try to sell me on his course at all. Instead, he suggested I might benefit more from a private tutor. That’s the kind of integrity he has. In the end, I stuck with his course because I knew I could buckle down and follow his plan — and I’m so glad I did! Once I finally buckled down for thirteen hardcore weeks straight, I passed!! The day I got my results, I called my parents first, and the next person I told was Farouq! I was beyond excited to tell Farouq I had passed!! I hope anyone reading this knows that if you’re willing to put in the work and follow the course, topic by topic, you can pass this exam too. Farouq will be there for you every step of the way, cheering you on, answering every question, and making sure you truly understand the material! I can’t recommend him enough!!
Finally passed my Fe exam thank you Farouq for helping
I recently completed the FE Civil Prep course offered by Direct Hub and taught by Farouq, and I found it to be a valuable resource for preparing for the exam. Farouq does an excellent job of breaking down complex topics into step-by-step explanations in the video lectures. This approach made it much easier to follow along and, importantly, to rewatch and understand any concepts that initially weren’t clear.
One of the standout aspects of this course is Farouq’s accessibility and support. Whenever I had additional questions or struggled with a particular topic, he was always reachable by email. His replies were consistently quick and provided helpful alternative solutions or explanations, which greatly enhanced my learning experience.
Overall, I highly recommend the FE Civil Prep course by Direct Hub for anyone preparing for the FE Civil exam. Farouq’s clear teaching style and readily available support make even challenging material much more approachable.
If you want to pass your exam you are in the right place
I found this exam preparation course to be extremely helpful, Although there is a slight change in the exam questions, focusing more on how well you understand the subject, but I think the course covers this change because its approach based on understanding the subject ,providing all the necessary fundamentals and breaking down topics in a way that made studying efficient and effective. Also covered all the exam topics in a clear and detailed manner.
Thanks Farouq for this course, I felt confident going into the exam, and it played a major role in helping me succeed.
DirectHub is a way to go
DirectHub has been an invaluable experience for me. While it’s possible to pass the FE exam by simply solving problems and memorizing steps, DirectHub offers a completely different approach, one that truly adds value. It focuses on teaching concepts and connecting them to real-world engineering applications. In fact, even in my day-to-day work, I find myself recalling these concepts to solve problems more effectively.
One area where DirectHub made a significant impact for me is Reinforced Concrete Design. Coming from South Africa, I was highly proficient in RCD, but I struggled to understand the American code. DirectHub made this transition seamless, and now I feel confident that I understand the concepts beyond just passing the FE exam.
I’m truly grateful to be part of this learning experience, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone from a different engineering background especially those, like me, who initially struggled with imperial units.
Approval after 8 years out of school!
I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the Direct Hub Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Civil course. I’m happy to share that I passed the exam; the directed course played a big role in helping me achieve this goal!
This was a very different phase of my life—I changed countries, adapted to a new language, transitioned from working in finance back to civil engineering, and, most importantly, became a father. With so many changes happening at once, it wasn’t just about reviewing engineering concepts; it was also about finding a balance between studying and life.
I really appreciated the Direct Hub course’s emphasis on a structured approach and maintaining balance in life and studies. That mindset helped me stay on track and continue without quitting, even when things got challenging.
The Directhub course covered everything I needed—from basic concepts to advanced topics—allowing me to rebuild my knowledge and adapt to U.S. engineering standards. It was exactly what I needed during this transition.
Thank for the dedication and for creating such a valuable resource for engineers like me. I truly appreciate it!
The Best FE Prep Course!
I passed the FE exam and Farouk’s online course was the main reason for my success. The course was well-structured, easy to follow, and covered every topic I needed in detail. Farouk’s explanations were clear and to the point, which made complex topics much easier to understand.
The practice questions were a game-changer – there were so many, and they were very similar to the actual exam. Solving them gave me the confidence and skills I needed on test day. I didn’t need anything else to prepare.
If you’re looking for an effective way to study for the FE exam, I highly recommend this course. It has everything you need to pass!

Truly Best FE prep Course!
Directhub FE exam prep course is truly exceptional. After failing the exam the first time, I was very discouraged and unsure of how to approach studying. However, this course changed everything. The comprehensive material and numerous practice problems were crucial in helping me pass the exam. Farouq’s teaching and lesson notes, which break down every problem along with tips and tricks, made all the difference. I even had problems on the test that were very similar to his practice problems. His responsiveness to my questions and support provided me with the knowledge and confidence I needed.

Passed without a civil engineering degree
I used Farouq’s resources for seven months in preparation for my exam and I passed even though I’d been out of school for many years AND I didn’t have a civil engineering degree (my bachelors was in electrical engineering and my masters was in engineering management). This course is most definitely worth it. Put in the work, believe in yourself and persevere.
It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but with Farouq’s guidance, I passed my exam. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. He’s a great teacher and has built an amazing course. He was also very supportive and reassuring when I got overwhelmed and confused. I didn’t see myself passing before putting in the work through this course.
With this course, you can definitely pass your FE Civil exam!
I passed the FE Exam with Farouq at Directhub!
Farouq has made an excellent course! I went 100% into studying with Farouq. I took his word for it- he said this course is all you need. And I am glad I did- I passed the CIVIL FE, and it’s a really good feeling! This is something I’ve always wanted to do. I kept putting it off year after year, and so when I wanted to study for the test I was looking for a good resource. I saw Farouq’s lecture on a Youtube video. In this video Farouq breaks down how the EXAM is laid out. The test content is right there in the back of the FE Manual. I was sold on this youtube video.
Farouq uses the exam specifications as his course layout. He goes over every topic, and every detail. He has videos, course notes, practice exams and quizzes. He has additional FE style practice tests. And to me, his price was very reasonable. You will get the confidence you need to pass. It took me a little bit longer, I wanted to know as much as I could before the test.
And I really didn’t feel like I was ready until I took Farouq’s practice test. Make sure you give yourself time for that!
Farouq is an amazing instructor, honestly I think he was better than a most of my college professors. He breaks down the problem in a way that I can understand. He is interesting, and personal and you can tell he puts his heart into what he does.
He is very passionate about each topic he discusses. He cares about his students. He writes back in a matter of minutes to any question I had, and over the course he became a mentor and friend. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.
Here I am 25 years out of College and I passed. DO IT -take this course!
Farouq- you turn people’s lives around, and make people like me have success stories. I now have passed the FE. WOW!
Affordable and well organized course to pass your FE Exam
This course was the key 🗝️ to pass my Civil FE. The FE exam is more conceptual now days. The exam will test you on your understanding of keys engineering concepts that you will find cover under each section in this course.
The course is constantly updated and the material doesn’t differ from the actual exam if you put the work in.
Most importantly you will have the support from the instructor and all the calculator tricks you need to solve the problem fast.
This course is all you need to pass FE, don’t forget to take two weeks to refresh the material by taking the quizzes again and two exam in the course and most importantly master key concepts.
Thank you for your support and to replay 🙏 to my questions during this journey.
Best Review Material Today
Highly recommend taking this course. Really helped simulate the feel for the exam and the questions were very similar. I have taken other courses before but this one I think is the most organized and detailed. Just have to stay motivated and keep consistent with following the videos. At least an hour or 2 a day should be enough.
