A Class · Global Sovereign University · Trades
Apartment maintenance, taught chapter by chapter: the service promise and daily triage, then plumbing, HVAC, appliances, branch electrical, water intrusion, the five-day make-ready, and how to work inside a resident’s home. Eight lessons. Free, no account, nothing to install.
The chapter, broken into the separate ideas you will be asked to use. Read it, or have it read to you.
A bench you can change: sort a morning queue, run a repair or a turnover, and see what the chapter says happens. Then go look at a real apartment.
A new situation every attempt. Miss one and you are told why that choice fails, and sent back to the exact idea it was testing.
One per chapter, in the book's order. Lessons open as they are built.
Working the lessons is practice, and practice does not earn a certificate. The certificate comes from a separate exam that is graded on our server, so no answer key ever reaches your browser and no score can be reported by the student.
The exam is open: thirty questions drawn from all eight lessons, a new order every attempt, and 80 percent to pass. It records comprehension of the book. It is not a trade licence, an industry credential, or a qualification issued by any authority.

No. The class teaches judgment: what comes first, what to look for, and when to stop and escalate. It does not qualify anyone to work on gas, electrical panels, refrigerant, or any task that needs a license. That work belongs to licensed trades, following your company's policy and local codes.
No. Every lesson is taught on the page. The book it is taught from, Multifamily Maintenance Operations & Unit Turnovers, goes deeper, and buying a copy is how the Foundation pays for the free class.
No. The lessons are practice and the exam is the proof. They are separate, so you can sit the exam whenever you are ready.
