Directhub is the GOAT

Farouq's course helped me understand the concepts of key engineering principles like statics and fluid mechanics.. things that I had been struggling with studying out on my own.

The practice problems and the practice exams will over prepare you for the FE exam. The actual exam felt like a cake-walk and I am thankful to God that he let me come across Directhub.

Passed the FE Civil exam on my first attempt

When I started preparing for the FE exam, I began by watching YouTube videos, and DirectHub stood out as one of the best channels because the problem explanations were always very clear and easy to understand. I bought the course and never regretted it. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to pass the FE exam.
Farouq does an excellent job of breaking down complex topics into step-by-step explanations in the video lectures. I highly recommend the FE Civil Prep course by DirectHub to anyone preparing for the FE Civil exam.
Thank you again, Farouq, for all of your support. I truly appreciate it.

I will miss having you in my course, Vladimir! I truly appreciate your positivity and motivating words. Your structure through the whole process was remarkable. I could tell you were hitting through all the quizzes and finished off by doing those very important full-length exams. You inspire me to lead other students to follow in your footsteps. Keep doing your thing because now that you have this EIT, it will give you the forward push towards that PE title.

Thank you so much!

After 6 attempts and 17 years out of school, I passed my FE Civil thanks to DH

I would like to start by saying that I finally passed the FE exam after six attempts, thanks to God and Direct-HUB’s amazing prep course. I tried other courses, but none came close to what Farouq covered. I graduated 17 years ago and went through multiple FE prep courses, where I realized that most of them are designed for recent graduates, which did not help me at all.

Once I was introduced to Direct-HUB, I knew I had found what I was looking for, even though it was a long course. Farouq covered every single item in each topic, which is exactly what I needed. Although I spent three months reviewing the morning session and crammed the afternoon session into three weeks, the knowledge I gained from watching Farouq’s videos and working through the problems made this dream come true.

Thank you so much, Farouq—you’re the best.

Passed the FE Civil exam on my first attempt, 12 years after graduating

I recently passed the FE Civil exam on my first attempt, 12 years after graduating in electrical engineering. At first, I didn't know where to start, so I searched for videos on YouTube and found the best content on DirectHub. That was when I decided to purchase the course, which turned out to be one of my best decisions. When I began, I felt nervous about the course, but gradually, it built my strength and confidence that I could succeed. The materials and practice problems were very helpful for the FE exam. Mr. Farouq consistently helped me understand the fundamentals and was very supportive. I give this course a 5-star rating and highly recommend it to others. It’s worth the investment for a career.
Thank you, Farouq, for your support.

Thank you, Harshil! It's not often I get students from a completely different discipline commit to taking the Civil FE exam. I know you had your worries from the start, and I am glad that you reached out expressing them. At some point, I completely forgot you studied electrical engineering, since you were patiently and persistently tackling the most complex Civil topics. Doing all this being 12 years out of school is truly inspiring, to say the least. Thank you so much for sticking with me through this whole process and for being a great student!

This course was really a key to passing my FE. I had taken the exam previously and I failed. Then, when I bought this course, I was able to develop the necessary skills in order to pass. I’m very glad I found this course.

The instructor always responded to all my doubts and gave me guidance whenever I needed it. English is not my first language, and I am still learning since I have a foreign degree, but this course really helped me achieve this very important goal.

Congratulations Miguel! It was a pleasure working with you through the whole process. Learning these engineering concepts even though English is not your native language is definitely a big hurdle to overcome. I know I struggled for years learning English as a second language and it took a really really long time. I am truly impressed by your persistence and work ethic through this whole process. Well done!!!

Zero to FE

I came to Directhub with a non-engineering bachelors and statics was the only engineering class I had taken. Some of the free FE resources introduced me to the civil FE topics, but they didn't have the level of detail that Farouq goes over in his Directhub course. After 2 months of full time studying with Directhub I was able to go from almost zero to passing the FE civil. I highly recommend Directhub for anyone trying to speed run the FE even if you have little to no background in the field.

I took this course 4 months back and I started following the instruction made by Farouq. The in detailed explanation with examples helps me to understand the each and every topic. They mentioned if I get 50% in all practice tests for all subjects and Imore than 50% in two practice tests it's very good sign to take the exam and I did it and I passed the exam. I appreciate the team for being a part of my journey.

Super proud of you, Srikanth! Honestly, I’m so glad to see you took my advice since many students feel they need to perfect their practice exam scores before attempting the real exam, but that often leads to burnout since this exam simply covers too much to be “good at everything.”

I can tell you were extremely confident with the high-yield topics (those low-hanging fruit problems!) and you developed the right time management skills to pass this exam.

Well done and congratulations!!!

Finally Passed!

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 the prep course through a random Reddit post, I had already spent nine exhausting months trying to teach myself all 14 topics using another resource that only left me more confused. Nothing came close to the clarity and support I found here.

From the minute I reached out, the instructor went above and beyond what you’d expect from an online prep teacher. He replied quickly, usually the same day or by the next morning and made me feel like no question was too small. He never once made me feel silly for asking something, unlike my previous online course where my questions always went unanswered.

At the start of the course, I watched all the intro videos and was blown away. No one had ever explained how to study. This course gave me the structure I desperately needed. Each section includes quizzes to reinforce the material, and when I struggled with statics and dynamics, the instructor gave me honest, encouraging feedback that helped me keep going.

What truly makes this course stand out is how deeply the instructor cares about every student’s success, sometimes more than we do ourselves! He doesn’t just answer questions; he explains the “why” behind each solution, often recording step-by-step videos when a concept needs deeper clarity. He even checked in with me two days before my exam just to see how I was feeling!

I also loved reading other students’ questions and the detailed replies. Sometimes a student would ask something I hadn’t thought of, or suggest a faster method — and the instructor would turn that into a new solution video so we could learn both approaches. He’s constantly refining the course to keep it relevant and effective.

My first attempt at the exam was just before Christmas 2024. I was working full-time while studying, and the results didn’t go my way. I was crushed. When I reached out to ask about the course, the instructor didn’t push me to enroll, he actually suggested I might benefit more from a tutor. That kind of honesty and integrity sealed the deal. I decided to trust the course and fully commit to this prep.

After thirteen intense weeks of focused studying, I finally passed! If you’re willing to put in the work and follow this course step-by-step, you can and will pass too! I can’t recommend it enough!

Directhub will help you pass the FE!

After failing the exam once after college due to study challenges, I was determined to pass the FE 10 years later. However, I struggled to find comprehensive study materials with expert guidance. Discovering Farouq's YouTube video on structural analysis concepts made a significant difference, enabling me to grasp more in one video than hours of textbook study.

Directhub is an excellent study program for those preparing for the FE exam and is beneficial for understanding civil engineering subjects. After 4-5 months of dedicated study with Directhub, I gained the knowledge and confidence to pass the FE. I'm grateful for their support and have recommended the program to coworkers, who have since enrolled.

Congratulations on passing your exam Chris!

Consistency is so underrated. Mainly because it’s so hard to maintain, especially for an exam as broad and deep as the FE. You had the drive to push through most of the course material, and I could really tell by the deep, insightful questions you posted in the comment section.

With those fundamentals under your belt, you’ll absolutely be able to tackle those harder, PE-style questions, many of which will start to feel like a breeze now that you’ve built the right foundational knowledge.

Super proud of you and thank you so much!!

Unbelievable how easy he simplifies the most difficult concepts. What did not make sence at all when I was in college made sence in a 20 min lecture.
I graduated in 2013 and fail the exam back then, now after 12 years out of school I passed the FE with his course review studying 5/6 hours a day for 4 months.
I am very confident I got over 70 to 80% of the test as I was able to answer all of the questions and have some spare time to go over a few of them that I flagged.
Calculator tips were also a big big plus to save time answering the FE questions.

You earned it Gustavo!!! Well done!

You went through an incredible journey. Graduating in 2013 and coming back to studying after 12 years is no easy feat. I know many students keep putting this off because of the fear that they're “not ready” or “not capable.” I'm so glad you pushed past those thoughts and went all in!

It takes serious commitment, discipline, and belief just to begin studying for this exam and you clearly had that by consistently putting in the work for 4 straight months.

Thank you for trusting my course and staying consistent. It's a big sacrifice, but I bet it feels so worth it now, right?! Your dedication is exactly what it takes to succeed and I’m sure others reading your story will find it motivating.

Celebrate it, enjoy it, you’re officially an EIT!!!

Directhub saved me from another failed FE exam

I had previously failed my FE exam and was struggling to find something that gave me all the information and tools needed. I had scheduled to retake it and the week before I felt like I still wasn't ready and was struggling with the doubts and found out about Directhub from a coworker and decided to reach out. Farouq got on the phone with me and discussed my situation and gave me a trial to see how I liked it. The trial was all I needed to find out that this was the way for me to pass. After only a month of reviewing his material, I passed my FE and felt very comfortable during the exam

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.

The content was thorough, well-structured, and exactly what I needed as someone starting from scratch. Every topic was broken down in a clear, digestible way that made even the most complex concepts feel manageable.

Farouq was truly the highlight of the experience—always supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in each student's success. Whether it was answering questions, providing encouragement, or offering extra resources, he was always there when you needed help. His dedication made a huge difference in keeping me motivated and confident throughout the process.

I'm so thankful I found DirectHub. This course didn’t just prepare me for the FE—it gave me the confidence to believe in myself as an aspiring engineer. Highly recommend to anyone serious about passing the FE exam! Now, time for the PE!

Best course for the FE Civil

If you feel like you need a full comprehensive course to study for the FE, I 100% recommend Farouq's course, one of the best available for the FE Civil. It helped me a lot when I was starting studying back in 2023 through 2024. I felt lost at first because there was a lot of sections I didn't even knew how to solve it. But thanks to Farouq I was able to get better and pass the exam on the first try.

One of the best thing about this course is that Farouq quickly answer all of the questions you may have. It shows that he care deeply for his students, and want them to succeed in every step of the way. So stop thinking about it and start your journey to become an EIT.

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.

I just found out I passed my FE using Direct hub. This source helped so much with understand the concepts and repetition. For example, I am a pro now with unit conversions thanks to Direct Hub which was a big part of the FE as they try to trick you with the units. I felt like this source was easy to navigate and Farouq was great at explaining the concepts. I’m so grateful for this source. Not only is it extremely affordable it is also great quality and can help you pass your FE on the first try as long as you put in the time and effort.
