Are your courses eligible for TCOLE credit?
yes they are. Hex tactical resources will provide students with all of the necessary documentation to receive TCLEOSE credit; however it is up to the individual agency if they will report it to TCLEOSE. Our experience has been that 99% of agencies will report it. Our Patrol Rifle Instructor course will always be taught in conjunction with a hosting agency and therefor will be reported to TCLEOSE via that respective agency.

Our typical class is 10-16 students, with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 8:1.

No, unless specifically stated, all range fees are included in the course fee.
