Every test the UK construction industry asks you to pass — practised here.

The cards, the touch screens, the operator tickets. None of them are optional if you want on a commercial site. All of them cost money to sit. Most of them are gatekept by paid mock-test apps full of ads and pop-ups.

FTBU Academy is the version built for the worker, not the worker's wallet. Free mocks to get you ready. A Pro tier for serious revision if you want it. When you're ready, we'll book you in. When you've passed, we'll find you the work.

How it works

  • Free mock — 50 questions, full timer, full answer review. Take it as many times as you need.
  • Pro — 500+ question bank, category drilldown on the topics you keep getting wrong, printable revision pack. £4.99 per exam, or £9.99 for the lot, lifetime.
  • Book the real test — pass the mock, book the actual sitting through NTI in minutes.
  • Find site work — card in hand, jobs board next.

Why we charge for Pro and not the free tier

Because a labourer earning probation rates needs a free mock, not another paywall. And because anyone serious about a card upgrade — Blue, Gold, Black — is happy to spend £4.99 to study properly. We're keeping the door open at the bottom and charging only where it makes sense at the top.

No display ads on the quizzes. No "premium tier" pop-ups mid-question. No email wall before you see a question. The Pro tier exists if you want it, and it's the only thing we'll ever ask you to pay for.

If FTBU Academy helps you pass, share it with the next person on site who needs it. That part hasn't changed.
