Trades Geometry — a free thirteen-lesson class from Global Sovereign University
A Certifiable Class · Global Sovereign University
The practical math a carpenter, plumber, electrician, and framer actually use on the job. Thirteen lessons, free, no account, nothing to install. Every lesson ends in a number you either got right or did not.
The material, broken into the separate ideas you will be asked to perform. Read it, or have it read to you.
A drawing that redraws itself from your numbers, and an instruction to go put your hands on a real building.
New figures every attempt. Miss one and you are sent back to the exact paragraph that covers it, not just shown the answer.
Ordered so each one stands on the one before it. All thirteen are open.
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.
Thirty questions; you need 80% to pass. A pass prints a serial-numbered certificate with a link anyone can use to verify it. It says plainly that it records comprehension of the book, and that it is not a trade licence, an industry credential, or a qualification issued by any authority. That honesty is what makes it worth having.
Trades Geometry was written by our founder, Dr. Gene A Constant, and donated to the Foundation. Published by Global Sovereign University Press. The class is free. The book is how the Foundation pays for it.
