COURSE DESCRIPTION

Your issuing Police or Sheriff's Department requires that all new CCW applicants attend and pass a CCW training course. The curriculum for that course must include lessons on gun safety, permissible use gun laws, a written exam and a shooting proficiency exam. Our class is designed to exceed the curriculum requirements set by your issuing county / jurisdiction.

This California CCW 16-Hour Initial-Issue Class is recognized by Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin, Placer, Nevada, Amador, and others*. This class includes qualifying with one handgun. Additional gun qualifications are $10 each and can be purchased through this website or during class. Most departments limit the number of guns you can have on your permit to three at any one time. A pdf document with more info on the class you select will be emailed to you when you purchase the class.

At the end of the course I will issue you a Certificate of Completion. You'll get it same day; you won't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. IMPORTANT: Once registered for this class, please e-mail [email protected] the following information for your certificate:

1. Your name exactly as you want it to appear on your certificate.
2. Make, model, caliber and serial number(s) of each handgun(s) you intend to qualify with.

Just because you earn this certificate does not mean that you absolutely will receive a CCW permit. There are many other variables involved in the issuance process. The decision to grant a CCW permit will be ultimately determined by the Police or Sheriff's Department that you applied with.

We are always looking to add more approved jurisdictions for our CCW training. If your county / jurisdiction is not listed, email me us [email protected] for more info.
