What You'll Learn
Step‑Up to Certification: 6‑Week Firearms Safety & Practical Handgun Training is a structured development program that takes students from foundational skills to full Virginia CHP certification. Over six weeks, participants build confidence and competence through:
Beginner Firearms Fundamentals — establishing proper grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control, and safe weapon handling.
Core Firearms Safety — internalizing the universal safety rules and applying responsible decision‑making in every environment.
Practical Handgun Skills — translating fundamentals into real‑world application with judgment, awareness, and controlled movement.
Virginia CHP Certification Course — completing the required classroom instruction to apply for the Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit.
This comprehensive pathway ensures students leave with the skills, awareness, and certification needed to carry responsibly and confidently.
