The lessons include instructional videos, photos and graphical elements, practice activities for Disc Golf Scene and Tournament Manager, and quizzes at the end of each hole. The entire program is fully interactive and allows you to move at your own pace.  Graduation from the program requires completion of all 18 holes with a score of 70% or better on each hole.

Anyone who has served as a TD or Assistant TD since 2022 will be invited to apply for a free account on the TD Training website, and prospective TDs will be able to request an account via PDGA.com. Along with comprehensive knowledge of the TD role, graduates of the TD Training Program will receive recognition via the PDGA website and social media accounts.
