Prepineer Success Story

Zach Shepard, PE

Industrial Engineer | Rexnord

Prepineer was a ledge to grab on to, to hold on to, it gave me the strength, the pathway, to be able to prove to myself that I had more in me than I thought I did.

We will always say, it’s not us, it’s our students that make us great.

Each one comes in to Prepineer on their own unique journey with their own unique goals and aspirations.

Some are looking for a better opportunity while others are pursuing personal growth.

Whatever the motivation, we are Blessed to work with some of the most talented students around the world who inspire us every day to become better coaches, better mentors and ultimately, a better program.

Zach’s story is very unique, in fact, he dropped out of the industry completely because he was so discouraged having failed the FE Exam multiple times.

But he picked himself back up, dusted he blue jeans and gave it one last go, this is his story:

Looking back over these last several months, Prepineer was a ledge to grab on to, to hold on to, it gave me the strength, the pathway, to be able to prove to myself that I had more in me than I thought I did.

I was roughed up…I needed a lifeline, I got in to Prepineer and I didn’t look back.

I knew, no matter what I encountered, I had the team at Prepineer that I could rely on. Knowing and having that feeling, made all the difference.

It’s a long, tiring, very trying road…and on that journey, you are going to need people, Prepineer makes everything more attainable.

Look, I don’t know where you stand today in your career.

Maybe you are riddled with uncertainty of what the future holds.

Maybe you are in cruise control, with fingers crossed that some turn of events will reinvigorate your enthusiasm.

Maybe your are borderline hanging on to hope that engineering is actually the direction you want to go.

This was where Zach was – multiple times – he was about as far gone as you can be after 5 failed attempts.

He didn’t give up though, he committed to taking small actions each day, leaning against the emotions that came with tackling the exam, and today, Zach is a licensed engineering in multiple states.

You can do the same.

Just take “a” step, we are here to help!

Zach’s story goes much deeper, listen to his journey and be prepared to walk away inspired, ready to slay this beast yourself:
