What to bring
For students who complete an eligible online Level 3 classroom or renewal course with another training provider. Bring your classroom completion certificate or other required completion documentation. Outside course records are subject to verification before participation.
- Before attending, complete the online Level 3 classroom portion through Go Strapped Firearms Training or another eligible training provider. Your completion documentation must be verified before participation. The $150 Go Strapped student rate requires verified completion of our online Level 3 course. Students who completed their online course elsewhere must select the $250 other-provider rate.
- New students: your Level Three Certificate (PSP-30) with the classroom portion completed and signed by the school that taught your online course
- Renewal students: an active or renewal-eligible security officer commission, and your Firearm Proficiency Certificate (PSP-31) showing your completed online renewal course. The same rates apply: $150 if you took our online renewal course, $250 if you took it with another provider
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- Your handgun and ammunition — or reserve a rental at registration (about $30 including ammo, so you don't need to own a gun to qualify)
- Eye and ear protection if you have them — tell us at booking if you don't
- Closed-toe shoes and range-appropriate clothing; your booking confirmation has the full, exact list
How the paperwork works
The Level Three Certificate (PSP-30), and for renewals the Firearm Proficiency Certificate (PSP-31), has three separately signed portions: classroom, self-defense tactics, and firearms. Each portion is signed by a licensed instructor and a representative of the school that delivered it.
So one school can complete the classroom portion and another the self-defense tactics and firearms portions. You bring a certificate whose classroom portion your online provider completed. After you pass our class, we complete the other two.
Timing matters: your range qualification must be no more than 90 days old when your application is submitted, so book your range day when you're ready to apply. DPS, not any school, issues the commission.

Other-provider student rate — $250

For students who complete an eligible online Level 3 classroom or renewal course with another training provider. Bring your classroom completion certificate or other required completion documentation. Outside course records are subject to verification before participation.
Important — select the correct student rate
The $150 rate is reserved for students with verified completion of a Go Strapped Firearms Training online Level 3 course. If you select this rate but your completion record shows another training provider, your tuition will be corrected to $250. The additional $100 tuition balance must be paid before you participate in class. Selecting the lower rate does not establish eligibility for it.
Course completion documentation is required. Paying a price difference does not replace the requirement to complete and verify the online portion.
These rates apply to Go Strapped sessions in North Richland Hills. Partner instructors elsewhere in Texas set their own tuition.
Per student at checkout: $159 incl. $9 booking fee for Go Strapped students, $265 incl. $15 booking fee for other-provider students.

Straight answers
Can I attend if I completed my online Level 3 course elsewhere?
Yes. Students with verified, eligible online Level 3 completion documentation from another training provider may register at the $250 other-provider rate. Students who complete Go Strapped Firearms Training's online Level 3 course qualify for our $150 in-person student rate. Both rates cover the same in-person class. Renewing? The same rule applies to your online renewal course: $150 if you took ours, $250 if you took it with another provider.
What if I choose the wrong rate?
We verify online course completion records before participation. If you select the $150 Go Strapped rate but completed your online course with another provider, your tuition will be corrected to $250. You must pay the additional $100 tuition balance before joining the class. If your completion documentation is missing or cannot be verified, contact us before class to resolve it.
I don't own a gun. Can I still qualify?
Yes. Reserve a rental handgun during registration — about $30 including ammunition — and we'll have it waiting at the range. Plenty of students qualify with a rental.
How hard is the shooting qualification?
It's a fair test of safe, competent handling — not a SWAT tryout. The day is built so you drill the fundamentals before you qualify, and our instructors coach you through it. Most first-timers pass; nervous beginners are our specialty.
When should I book my range day?
Close to when you'll actually apply. The state requires your range qualification to be no more than 90 days old on the day your application is submitted — so finishing the online course, then booking your range day as you get your paperwork lined up, is the sequence that never backfires. Call us and we'll time it with you.
