What You'll Learn

Enroll in our in-depth CCW training course to gain the essential knowledge needed to pass the CCW examination and secure your Certificate of Training, a key requirement for your permit application with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD), and select cities in Los Angeles County. While completing this 16-hour course and passing the exam doesn’t guarantee CCW approval, it greatly enhances your readiness. We strongly recommend all CCW candidates purchase liability insurance upon course completion for added protection. Please bring 24 rounds of ammo for your primary firearm and 20 rounds for each additional one. Note that vouchers are not accepted for this class. Sign up today and take a significant step towards obtaining your CCW permit! All of our CCW Instructors are CA DOJ CCW Certified Instructors.
