Sources and what we verified
SkillCat EPA 608 online page: free 3 days then $10/month, 4 attempts, virtual proctor, printable certificate ↗EPA: 608 tests must be administered by an EPA approved certifying organization ↗What we verified: Rechecked Oct 13, 2026. The earlier note about an optional physical card fee was removed: the page no longer mentions a card fee. One FAQ on the same page contradicts itself by saying the official test typically must be taken at a testing center; the rest of the page describes online proctoring.
Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
