Where to take it
Start with the issuer’s own class or test-site search:
- Class search: OPITO Find a Centre (opito.com)
Classes in our training directory that teach FOET: 9 listed in 2 states plus 6 outside the US. Pick a state, enter a ZIP, or use your location. Your ZIP and location are not sent anywhere: the page downloads, from this site, the ZIP-area file for the first two digits of your ZIP and the class lists for nearby states, and works out distances in your browser.
Distances are straight-line from the ZIP or city centre (U.S. Census 2024 gazetteer), not drive times. Listings come from state approved-program lists, issuer directories and providers' own pages. A listing is not a partnership; confirm dates, price and seats with the provider.
