On-Target Training Courses

What On-Target Training Courses does

On-Target Training Courses, LLC is a privately held, Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business operating a single authorized high-stakes testing center at 301 Live Oak St Suite 1, Glen Rose, Texas, just outside the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Founded in 2015, the company proctors computer-based certification, licensing, and academic exams on behalf of Pearson VUE (covering 300+ companies and organizations), PSI Services, Performance Assessment Network (PAN), Kryterion Global, College Board CLEP, ETS HiSET, GED Testing Service, and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). The core technical infrastructure is 15 Intel Core i5 workstations equipped with noise-canceling ear muffs, silent mice, and whisper-quiet keyboards. The company also offers training classes through authorized partnerships with the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and ASHI, plus Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Hunter Education classes and Federal Firearms License (FFL) transfer services.

Revenue is generated through transactional exam administration fees ($15 CLEP, $20 TCOLE), training class tuition ($75 BLS, with $40 skills sessions), a state-mandated $15 Hunter Education fee, and a $25 FFL transfer fee, all on a pay-as-you-go basis. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the physical location and online scheduling via partner portals. The company's competitive positioning rests on evening hours (until 11 PM Monday-Friday) and full Saturday hours that it advertises as unique among Texas testing centers, a quiet small-town environment, and no exam appointment backlog versus large Pearson Professional Centers. The company holds BBB Accredited Business status and has been D&B Verified since November 2017. Operating geographies are limited to the DFW Metroplex and statewide Texas; international shipping and LSAT administration are not offered, and Certiport and LTC public classes are currently suspended.
