The next decade of work in America runs on copper, concrete, refrigerant, solar, and silicon. The blue-collar workforce just became the most valuable workforce in the AI economy. We built the bridge between a hard hat and a server room — seven study decks, 3,800+ source-cited cards, $27 each. Pass the test. Cross the threshold.
The headlines say AI is coming for white-collar work. The trades headline is the opposite: building the AI economy is a physical job. Server halls don't pour their own concrete. Switchgear doesn't terminate itself. Rooftop solar doesn't hand-mount its own arrays. Heat pumps don't size their own refrigerant lines.
The Department of Energy now projects U.S. data-center load to roughly double by 2030. Every new megawatt is a contract for licensed electricians, journeymen, EV-charging installers, EPA-608 refrigeration techs, NABCEP-certified solar pros, LEED-credentialed builders. The sector that's about to get the biggest tailwind isn't building software. It's building the rooms that run it.
We are watching the trades become the most strategically valuable workforce in the United States. TradesmanPass exists to put a credential between you and that wave — at the speed of a phone, at the price of a takeout order.

Every deck below is a single HTML file you open on your phone. Spaced repetition built in. Every answer source-cited to the official rating system or code. $27 to start, $37 for the bundle (deck + practice exams + study guide). Upgrade promise: when the issuing body publishes a new edition, you get the update for free.
No video courses. No 90-minute webinars. No PDF that's just the code re-typed. You buy the deck, you open the file on your phone, you answer cards until they stop showing up, you take the exam.
Pay through SendOwl. The download link is in your inbox before you put your phone away.
Single HTML file. Works offline once loaded. No app install. No login. No subscription.
SM-2 spaced repetition. Cards you keep getting right space out; cards you keep missing come back tomorrow.
Walk in calibrated. Every card was source-cited to the actual rating system, not a paraphrase.
NEC article. NABCEP exam objective. EPA section. LEED rating-system credit. If a card is wrong, the citation makes it auditable.
When NEC publishes 2029, when USGBC ships the LEED v5 Candidate Handbook, when NABCEP renumbers — every existing buyer gets the update at no charge.
If the deck is wrong for you, the refund email goes to the founder, not a queue. 14 days, no questions, no scripts.
I'm a board-certified physician. I've spent more years studying for credentialed multiple-choice exams than I'd care to count — board exams, recertification, every variant of "answer 200 questions and pass." Every card in every TradesmanPass deck is written the way I'd want a card written for me.
The trades exam space is overcrowded with $200 prep courses that bury the candidate in hours of video and call it value. I think the actual value is a tight deck, plausible distractors, source-cited explanations, and a refund email that goes to a real person. That's it. That's the whole product.
