After creating the PE Roadmap in 2020 and and working one-on-one with numerous clients through coaching calls, I found that nearly all of the coaching time was spent working through practice problems.

​Often, test-takers would be working through a practice problem from the MeyerFire Test Prep Series and not understand a certain step in the solution. On the coaching call, I would then walk through the problem step-by-step, explaining each component of the solution. My one-on-one clients reported these explanations as extremely helpful in their overall preparation for the exam.


After the 2020 exam season ended, I had some time to reflect on these calls I had through the year. While I enjoyed working with clients one-on-one, the future potential for that type of arrangement is limited. There is only so much time in the day for direct coaching. But, if test-takers found significant value in walking through practice problems step-by-step, is it possible to deliver that sort of instruction on a broad scale?​

Introducing the PE Roadmap Video Series

What Students Say They Need the Most

The PE Roadmap Video Series takes the most helpful parts of my one-on-one coaching sessions and makes them available to you at anytime, 24/7. Instead of waiting to get your questions answered, you can get step-by-step guidance on every PE practice problem.

Here is how it works: for every MeyerFire Prep Series mini-exam, you get access to full solution videos of me personally solving and explaining each problem. Each video uses a side-by-side format, so you can simultaneously see the problem, the reference materials/equations, plus video feeds of me solving the problem step-by-step.

Here Are Two Sample PE Roadmap Video Series Solutions:

Why the Video Series is Right for You

Last year, I had the opportunity to work with many soon-to-be PEs. For most of these clients, I had 5-6 virtual coaching sessions, each ranging from 30 minutes to an hour. Here are just a few of the responses I received from clients after they passed the PE Exam:
In a short time I learned a TON. The way you have the course organized allows a student to learn quickly.
...the roadmap was an awesome preparation guide!
Chris, Yes. I did pass. With your help playing a significant role in it.
 Chris was also very knowledgeable about the subject and was able to work through example problems helping to work through spots of difficulty with simple explanations that helped me absorb the information.
The PE roadmap was very beneficial to my studying, especially when I knew a very small amount of fire protection 3 months ago. I highly recommend using the PE Roadmap for anyone preparing to take the exam.

​The PE Roadmap Video Series builds on this excellent feedback, providing 30+ hours of video content, way more than any of my clients received last year!

My goal with the video series is to clearly explain each and every practice problem solution, substantially improving your study process (and ultimately, to help you pass the exam and become a Registered Fire Protection Engineer!)

PE Roadmap Video Series: What You Get

The PE Roadmap Video Series works in conjunction with the 2022 MeyerFire PE Prep series, which starts June 1, 2022 and runs for 20 weeks.  With 10 weekly questions, that means you get 200 exam-quality practice problems with fully worked and explained solutions.
