Price
$500
Format
Three online courses and three in person
Starting point
No security license needed
Bought one class at a time, a Texas security career turns into a year of starts and stops: six checkouts, six schedules, full price every time. The Security Career Fastrack puts Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 into one enrollment at one price, with every in-person seat already covered, so the only thing left to pick is which weekend you come to Longview.
What is included in the Security Career Fastrack?
Six courses, three online and three in person:
- Texas Level 2 Security Class, online, $39.99
- Texas Level 3 Security Class Part 1, online, $99.99
- Texas Level 3 Security Class Part 2, in person, range day, $149.99
- Texas OC (Pepper Spray) Class Part 1, online, $39.99
- Texas OC (Pepper Spray) Class Part 2, in person, about 30 minutes, $9.99
- Texas Level 4 Personal Protection Officer (PPO), in person, $250
Bought separately those come to $589.95.
Fastrack price: $500. You save $89.95
What order do the Fastrack courses go in?
The path builds on itself, and each step has to come after the one before it:
- Level 2: the entry point for working as a security officer in Texas. Self-paced online.
- Level 3 Part 1: the classroom half of the commissioned officer course. Self-paced online.
- Level 3 Part 2: the range day. You shoot, qualify, and finish the commissioned course in person.
- OC Part 1: pepper spray classroom, online.
- OC Part 2: the short in-person practical. You are not required to be sprayed.
- Level 4 PPO: the personal protection officer course, in person.
You can take the OC courses at any point once you have started; they do not gate anything else. The Level 3 range day cannot happen until Part 1 is finished, and Level 4 comes last.
When do the in person classes happen?
All three hands-on classes run consecutively, Friday through Sunday, on published dates in Longview, Texas.
Level 3 Part 2 fills the Friday, ten hours including the range qualification. The OC (Pepper Spray) Part 2 session follows straight after it and takes about thirty minutes. Level 4 Personal Protection Officer runs the Saturday and Sunday, eight hours and then seven. One trip, one hotel if you need one, and every in-person requirement for an armed commission and a PPO credential is behind you.
Nothing is locked in at checkout, and that is deliberate. The online courses are self-paced, and picking a range date before you have opened Level 3 Part 1 only means rescheduling later. Work through the online portions at your own speed, then take the weekend that suits you.
How your in person seats are claimed
Enrolling puts one event pass on your account for each in-person class. Sign in first, open the class on our calendar and choose your date. The pass is applied for you and the booking goes through with nothing to pay, because those seats were covered by the bundle.
Book each class here:
- Level 3 Part 2 dates, the Friday range day
- OC (Pepper Spray) Part 2 dates, straight after Level 3
- Level 4 Personal Protection Officer dates, Saturday and Sunday
Everything sits on the booking calendar if you would rather see a whole month at once.
What certifications do I have at the end?
- Level 2 certificate of training
- Level 3 certificate of training, with the range qualification completed
- Pepper Spray Training Certificate (PSP PSC)
- Level 4 Personal Protection Officer certificate of training
ETXSTA is the training provider on all of it, so every certificate carries our school license number.
Common questions
How much does the Security Career Fastrack cost?
The Fastrack is $500, paid once. The six courses bought separately come to $589.95, so the bundle saves $89.95. That covers Level 2 at $39.99, Level 3 Part 1 at $99.99 and Part 2 at $149.99, OC Part 1 at $39.99 and Part 2 at $9.99, and Level 4 Personal Protection Officer at $250. There is nothing further to pay us.
Can my employer buy the Fastrack for a group of officers?
Yes. Companies putting several officers through at once use our group training program instead: one invoice for the whole crew, one schedule, and officers enrolled automatically from a roster you submit after payment. Group bookings start at five officers and can run at your own facility or at the range in Longview, Texas.
How long does the whole thing take?
That is up to you. The online portions are self-paced, and the in-person sessions run on our published calendar. Students who move steadily can finish inside a couple of months; there is no deadline pushing you.
Do I have to take them in this order?
Level 3 Part 1 must come before the Part 2 range day, and Level 4 comes last. The OC courses can slot in wherever suits you.
What if I already have my Level 2?
Then the Fastrack is not the best value for you. Buy the remaining courses individually instead, and talk to us if you are not sure which you still need.
What do I need to bring to the range day?
Each in-person class page lists its own requirements. For the Level 3 range day, plan on a handgun, ammunition, and eye and ear protection.
How long do I have to finish?
Your online course access runs for six months from purchase.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
No. You get instant access to the paid online material on purchase, so the courses are non-refundable. In-person sessions can be rescheduled, provided you tell us at least 24 hours before the class.
