Meridian Academy
Professional education for the skilled trades.
Meridian Academy is the professional education division of Meridian Compliance Group, LLC. Self-paced trade skills, code & inspection, exam prep, safety, leadership and contractor business courses — each clearly labeled with its type, level and estimated time.
Every course offered today is Professional Development — Non-Credit or Exam Preparation — Non-Credit. No course provides continuing-education, license-renewal or licensure credit.
What this is
Structured learning, not a slideshow.
Each course is built as modules of short lessons with field-ready job aids. Every module ends with a knowledge check that explains the answers, and the course closes with a final assessment drawn at random and graded on our servers. Learners cannot mark their own course complete.
Lessons and knowledge checks
Work at your own pace. Each module's knowledge check shows the reasoning behind every answer before you move on.
Randomized final exam
Every attempt draws a fresh set of questions from the bank. Attempts, answers and scores are logged for audit.
Verifiable certificates
Each certificate of completion carries a unique ID and a public verification page for employers.
Plainly non-credit
Certificates record completion of Meridian Academy coursework only. They are not a license, CE credit or a credential issued by any agency or testing body.

Who it serves
Built for working tradespeople and the people who employ them.

- Mechanical contractors who want consistent, self-paced training for their crews without pulling them off the job for a full day.
- Employers and training coordinators who need completion records and certificate verification in one place.
- Code officials and inspectors looking for structured code-navigation and inspection fundamentals. Exam-prep courses do not guarantee passing any exam.
