The way you presented the question sounds like you should start with hunt test.
AKC hunt test or UKC hunt test are places to start. Each has websites with a wealth of information on local clubs and contact info.

whether it is HRC/UKC or AKC also depends on where you are. hunt tests = dog graded on a standard - judges, other handlers and pro's there will help you...
field trial - if you are an amateur and train your own dog - and still handle it - you will be less than 10% of the norm... getting a ribbon at a field trial - is pretty hard for dog and handler...
as for ack vs hrc/UKC... 1st tier.
4 marks biggest difference akc guns are where birds come from - cannot resend a dog on a mark - dog must deliver to hand... HRC - handler must wear camo. gun is next to dog.
also AKC will use a live shot flyer at all levels.
2nd tier.... dog must be steady. HRC handler handles gun - and an unsafe gun action (even minor) can fail you. double and a blind... sometimes a walk up or a diversion is included - AKC shot flyer - dog must deliver to hand.
delivery to hand at these is a lot more complicated than you think - the birds get pretty nasty pretty quick.
where are you located?
