About the Course
The Internet + Field Course is ideal for those under 17 years of age and adults wanting a more hands-on field and live-fire experience during the basic course. We recommend younger students be accompanied by an adult during the field course. The certification process consists of two parts:
- Online Course: Complete the FREE TPWD on NRA online course option.
- Field Course: Attend a course with a TPWD certified instructor. The fee for the Field Course is $15.00. Some instructors may charge additional fees associated with a shooting range or other facility.
ONLINE COURSE: Free Online courses include TPWD and NRA. For TPWD, please print out the results of the FINAL QUIZ. For NRA, please print off the Field Course Voucher. Both allow you entry to an approved Field Course. Be sure to register for a known field course near you prior to taking the online course. Note: If you search a browser for an online course, you may get information about PAY-FOR courses which apply only to those 17 years of age or older.
FIELD COURSE: A Field Course is typically completed in about 4 hours (min.) a discussion of ethics, a skills course and live-fire exercises. You must pre-register for this course, preferably before you complete the free online course.
ARRIVAL: When you arrive at the Field Course:
- Pay the $15 fee to the instructor. Some instructors may charge additional fees for a shooting range or other facility.
- Demonstrate good knowledge, skills and attitude.
- Take the written exam and score at least 75% to pass.

Here is more from Ken Lewis, your Instructor.
Hello Hunter,
I am not talking to parents, but to the Hunter attending the class. Hunters are responsible for their own work and hunt plan. Parents may help, not do.
Please read this entire letter. Make sure you understand everything. Noncompliance will get you dismissed. Some of it is redundant. You get to read it twice.
Welcome, and thank you for training with the P³ Training and Consulting. Your hunter education is graciously sponsored by
Sierra Club International at the
San Antonio Trap and Skeet Club. We are looking forward to meeting and training with you. Here is the information to make your training more enjoyable.
The course covers core competencies of firearm and hunting safety, hunting ethics and wildlife conservation. All materials are provided. The Hunter Education Classroom Course lasts about six hours of classroom instruction. This time does not include registration, breaks, test administration and certification card distribution. We will also be shooting shotguns during this course. See below for shotgun requirements and restrictions.
The fee for the certification is $15. Pre-registration is required. Parents DO NOT register for the course if they are not a student of the course. Hanging with you does not count.
When you arrive at the course:
- Turn in P³TC and range liability waivers. (without these items, you will not participate). Download and print this: https://tpwd.elementlms.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SATS-Map-and-Waiver-Set-07262025.pdf

Your permanent Texas Hunter Education certification card will be available for downloading and printing from your Account Profile.
