How account access, study materials and source coverage work.

The study program

LA Fire Aces is an independent LAFD Engineer exam preparation program. It is not an official LAFD publication and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Los Angeles Fire Department. Use the current official exam announcement and department sources to confirm requirements, procedures and testable material. No exam result or promotion is guaranteed.

Weekly membership and renewal

LA Fire Aces is operated and billed by APOT Solutions, Inc. The weekly membership costs $30 USD every 7 days until canceled. Any tax collected for this price is included in that $30. Creating a passkey account does not start a subscription or charge you. Before checkout, you must separately agree to recurring billing; you then review and confirm payment on Stripe. Access begins when payment is confirmed. Your account and Stripe show your subscription and billing information.

The January 12, 2027 countdown is a study target, not a purchase deadline or an automatic subscription end date. The subscription continues until you cancel. Current official announcements determine the exam date and testable material.

Cancellation and payment questions

Cancel before your next renewal using “Manage or cancel in Stripe” in your member account. Cancellation stops future renewals at the end of the current billing period, and access continues through the period already paid. Cancellation does not automatically refund an earlier payment. For a billing error or refund request, use the account help form; any refund is reviewed under the circumstances and applicable law. Failed payments do not extend access beyond a period already paid. Statutory consumer rights are not limited by these terms.

Study-partner referrals

Active members on the weekly paid plan can create a personal referral link from their account. An eligible new paying member using that link receives $10 off the first weekly invoice: $20 for the first week, then $30 every 7 days until canceled. The code and final price are checked before payment. The offer applies once per new member, does not combine with another offer, and cannot be added retroactively to a completed enrollment.

After that new member's first successful eligible payment of at least $20 is confirmed, the referring member earns $90 in Stripe subscription credit. This covers three $30 weekly renewals on the current plan. Credits are applied to future invoices, can accumulate from different eligible referrals, and have no cash value. A canceled subscription does not turn unused credit into a cash payment. The original payment must be genuine: self-referrals, duplicate accounts, repeat enrollments and fabricated payments do not qualify. A refund, reversal or dispute can place a referral reward under review; the system does not automatically debit the referring member for a used reward.

When recommending the program with a referral link, disclose that you may earn free study weeks. The provided sharing text includes this disclosure. Referral links identify the referrer to the program; they do not expose the referrer's private study answers or scores.

Previously granted access

Free memberships granted before the weekly plan launched retain their existing access while the course is operated. New members can choose the weekly paid plan or redeem an eligible scholarship code. Existing free members do not need to subscribe, and the paid-member referral credit does not create a cash benefit for an account that already has free access.

30-day scholarships

An accepted scholarship code provides a finite access period. Access is activated after the program verifies the completed $0 Stripe checkout, and expires exactly 30 days after Stripe checkout completion. This is a finite access grant, not a calendar month or a recurring subscription. No payment card is required and no automatic renewal or later charge is created. The account shows the exact access end date and time.

Each code is valid for one redemption, and each account can receive one scholarship. Codes cannot be combined with a referral discount or used to earn referral credit. Accounts with an existing subscription, included access, or an active scholarship cannot redeem another scholarship. After the 30 days expire, continuing with the $30 weekly plan requires a separate decision and fresh recurring-billing consent. Protect an unused code and share it only with its intended recipient.

Account creation and availability

An account without a valid membership can manage its registration but cannot open protected course materials. If paid enrollment is being activated or is temporarily unavailable, the site shows that status. No charge starts until the member completes Stripe checkout.

Your account and materials

Use your own contact details. Keep recovery keys private and do not share your account. Course access and downloads are for your personal study. Your rights to underlying department materials remain governed by their original source.

Coverage, updates and progress

The course includes source notes, corrections and unresolved coverage items. Study content may be updated as sources are reviewed. Progress currently stays in the browser you use, separately for your account. Export a backup if you change devices or clear browser storage.
