Prepineer Success Story

Paul Trutner, PE

President | PTrutner Fire Protection Engineering

Paul Trutner, PE
I can’t say it enough, the Prepineer Community is second to none. If you are looking for a program that is actually worth the money you pay and the time you put in, Prepineer is it.

It has been such a blessing to walk alongside some of the most talented engineers that are out there. Many of which have come to us beat down, at a crossroads after having failed the FE Exam multiple times – thinking that if they couldn’t pass the exam that it was an indication of their ability (or inability).

We are so happy when we get to meet and guide these students, knowing first hand just how talented they really are and how much the world needs their unique abilities.

Today we take a step in to the world of Paul Trutner, a Professional Engineer and Prepineer success who was nothing short of frustrated with where he was in his career at the time we met.

I know many of you may be exactly where hs was today, possibly hung up, but like Paul, all you need to do is lean in, we are here to help.

Let’s dive in to his story:

I found myself at a frustrating point in my career. Having just come off a failure, I was pretty much at a stalemate on what to do next.

Luckily, in the midst of my uncertain future, I came across Prepineer and met Justin – I was really impressed and got to learn more about what Prepineer offered.

It was a no-brainer after that and I signed up immediately.

I was so excited to be getting back on the horse, but it wasn’t always like this when I joined courses before, this time it was different.

Like I stated, I had taken the exam and failed, and the courses I participated in up to that point were just leaving me more confused and not any closer to where I wanted to be mentally going into an exam like the FE.

Every single one of the review courses I took, I payed good money, but there was never any additional support available outside of the curriculum. Once the review course was complete or a topic was covered, that was pretty much it.

You were on your own after that.

My frustrations manifested in to an emotional barrier – extreme overwhelm.

Every time I took a review course, or tried to go at it alone, I often hit roadblocks and din’t know where to turn, or how to get past them and moving back in the right direction.

Prepineer solved all of these problems with program truly centered around supporting each student on their individual journey – no matter how much I was stuck, I felt taken care of by Prepineer.

Prepineer provided the community element I had been missing in the past, encouraging, inspiring, and motivating me to continue moving forward despite how discouraged I found myself.

I can’t say it enough, the Prepineer Community is second to none. If you are looking for a program that is actually worth the money you pay and the time you put in, Prepineer is it. Not only for the structure, the tools, and the workshops, but the fully supported community that will be there by your side day in day out.

Good luck!

Paul Trutner, PE
