Host a class

You don't need fifteen officers to host a class. You need a courthouse and a place to train.

  • Fifteen paid registrations
  • One to three tuition-free seats
  • A signed agreement and a purchase order hold the dates
  • 254-423-5675

Tuition-free seats for your own people

Three steps

How it works

  1. Tell us your dates.

    You get first choice of the calendar. A signed host agreement and a purchase order hold the block.

  2. We fill the seats together.

    Your officers who need the certification train as part of hosting. We recruit across the region, and we give you a flyer and a registration link to send to the agencies around you.

  3. Your officers certify without leaving town.

    Forty hours, on your site, ending with the practical exercise and the live-fire practical.

A place to train. This one is stacked shipping containers on a county range. Yours does not need to be.

What you provide, what you get

What a host agency provides, and what hosting gets it.

Or just call.

Most of this is a five-minute conversation.

254-423-5675

You provide

  • A classroom that seats 30, with a projector or a large display
  • Indoor space that can stand in for a courtroom or an office for the scenario day
  • Range access for the live-fire day: eight target stations and five or more movable stands
  • Marking-ammunition training weapons and protective gear: 6 weapons, 6 gear sets, 600 rounds (Simunition or UTM, not airsoft. Unused rounds go back to you)
  • A walk-through metal detector, or a courthouse screening station we can visit
  • Access to a copier on class days
  • One designated point of contact

Officers bring their own duty handgun and 200 rounds, eye and ear protection, holster and magazine pouches, long sleeves and long pants for the scenario day, note materials.

On seats. The 15-student minimum is not 15 of your officers. Almost no single agency fills a class alone. Your people who need the certification train as part of hosting, and we recruit the rest of the seats from the agencies around you.

On equipment. If you own the marking-ammunition training weapons and protective gear, we’re set. If you don’t, that is common and it is solvable: a partner site, a council of governments or a regional academy, or a scenario day built around what is available. Tell me what you have and I will work with it.

You get

  • Your officers certified at home. Nobody spends a week in a hotel three hundred miles away, and nobody is off your schedule for travel days on either end.
  • Tuition-free seats for your own people, scaled to how many paid registrations the class carries: one seat at fifteen to nineteen, two at twenty to twenty-four, three at twenty-five or more.
  • First choice of the calendar. Hosts pick their dates before anyone else.
  • A class in your region that would not otherwise exist. Most of Texas has nowhere close to send an officer for this certification.
  • A marketing pack. Flyer, dates and a registration link, ready to send to the agencies around you.
  • And your detail comes out operating the same way. Same terminology, same screening procedure, same response to a courtroom that goes bad, because they learned it in the same room on the same days.

Booking

Dates, seats, then the week.

Reserving dates

A signed Host Agency Agreement plus a purchase order reserves an exclusive six-day block. Government agencies generally cannot prepay, so the purchase order is the binding instrument, not a cash deposit. Where an agency can prepay, a deposit works in its place.

The minimum

Fifteen paid registrations, confirmed fourteen days out. Filled by your own officers, by agencies around you, or both.

Tuition

$495 per officer for the full forty hours. One-day blocks are $99, half-days $50.

Payment

Host tuition is due within thirty days of the final class day. Outside registrants pay at registration.

Full booking and cancellation terms are in the Host Agency Agreement, which we send with proposed dates.

If we haven't confirmed fifteen paid registrations fourteen days out, you owe nothing and we reschedule.

Four questions

Tell us what you've got

Four questions and where to send the dates. We'll come back with proposed dates and a host agreement built around what your agency has.

Four questions and your contact details.

All four are required. None of them disqualifies you.

Question 1 of 4Do you have a classroom that seats 30, indoor space that can stand in for a courtroom or office, and access to a range?
Question 2 of 4Do you have non-lethal marking-ammunition training weapons and protective gear?Six weapons, six gear sets, 600 rounds. If you don't have it, say so. It's common and it's solvable.
Question 3 of 4Roughly how many of your own people need the certification?However few, it's not a problem. The minimum is about the class, not about you.
Question 4 of 4Who reports TCOLE hours for training at your agency?If your agency is a licensed provider, it reports the hours for everyone in the room. If not, each officer's own department reports their hours. We're asking so you know which one applies. We don't report training and we don't arrange reporting.
Timing
A quarter or a month is enough.
Where to send the dates

An email or a phone number is required, so we can come back to you.
