Class Details:
This is an “Online Classroom” CCW class, also referred to as “Blending Learning”, for those needing to fulfill the renewal training requirement for a California Concealed Firearm Permit Renewal.  The Blended Learning option allows CCW renewal applicants to take nearly all of the required classroom training online and is approved by Orange and Ventura Counties and some city police departments within Los Angeles.  Unfortunately however, at this time the online format is NOT approved by the Los Angeles County or San Diego County Sheriff’s Departments.  If you are applying for your renewal through the LAPD, L.A. or San Diego Sheriff’s Departments, do NOT register for this version of the class.  We are approved to teach the course for  the LAPD and L.A. and San Diego Counties, but the instruction must be done in-person.  Consequently, please look to see if a public “in-person” class is scheduled.  We are also available to schedule a private “in-person” class for renewal applicants to any of the aforementioned counties.

The CCW renewal curriculum is divided into 6 online modules and a few quizzes.  After completing the online training, you’ll join us at the range on the date you’ve chosen (details can be found below).  We’ll have time for some Q & A to clarify any content from the online course and then you’ll complete the live fire requalification with the guns you’re listing on your permit and we’ll sign your course certificate (Ventura County applicants must also retake the written test).  Note that you must qualify all of the guns you’re listing on your permit, even if you had qualified them before when you took your initial CCW class.

There are several advantages to taking your CCW class in the Blended Learning format.  Even though we need you to commit to a specific range day, you can watch the online training videos at your own convenience and from the comfort of your home.  The only constraint is that you must have the online training completed before coming to the range date. 

Another advantage to online training is that we’ve included a Bonus Section of several videos available for you to watch at no additional cost.  These sections were originally part of our full day classes before we streamlined the course.  While we feel that this additional material addresses very important CCW concepts, this section is not mandatory to view.  The core 6 modules that you are required to watch meets the mandatory 4 hour curriculum required by California law for your renewal.   

Sign-up Options:

The basic details are found by clicking on the “Class Details” tab to the side of this box.  Please read ALL of the tabs regarding what to expect from class, what to bring, and the terms for cancellation or rescheduling.

Also, please carefully read the options for adding the optional “multi-state CCW” qualification and for the optional fingerprinting as it can be somewhat confusing if you select the options without reading them first.  If you took your initial CCW class with us and did your UT, AZ, and or FL licenses at that time, check your expiration dates on those permits because they are valid for 5-7 years (much longer than California’s 2-year permit).  Additionally, there is no requirement to take a renewal class for those permits as long as you keep the license current by submitting a renewal application with your fees via mail or online.  

If you’re interested in an online California CCW renewal class with a private qualification, please do not sign up here.  Go back to the course page and register for this private option for $235.  There’s an extra surcharge for travel time and fuel if you’d like us to travel to a range near you in Los Angeles, Ventura, or San Diego Counties.  Scheduling is generally flexible on weekdays.

Finally, if you would like the option of a private, full “in-person” option and not do any of the classroom online, the rate is $350 for one person.  If you’re doing the renewal as part of a private group, the cost goes down with each person you add.  In either case, please contact us to set up private a one-day fully “in-person” class.  The classroom portion can be taught at your home or office or at our classroom in Huntington Beach.

Class Details

This course material has been approved by the sheriff’s departments listed as acceptable in meeting the training requirements for Renewal CCW applicants.  Otherwise, there is no affiliation with their respective agencies.  We’re not employed by them, nor do they endorse any specific training provider.

Because of the highly discounted price, materials preparation, and demand, we cannot accept walk-ins for this course at the door.  The course price includes everything you’ll need in class (targets, range fee, handouts, etc.) for qualifying up to 3 guns.  You must provide your own ammunition.

Classroom and Range

For Orange, Ventura, and San Diego County applicants who want to qualify more than 3 guns, you can add up to 2 additional guns for $25.  In other words, $25 will cover a 4th and 5th gun, $50 will cover up to 6 or 7 guns, etc.  Adding more guns to your license can currently be done at any time in Orange and San Diego Counties.  Los Angeles and Ventura will only allow it to be done at the time of your license renewal.  When you register, you will see the “gun-add on” option suggestion at the bottom of the page.  If you’ll be qualifying more than 3 guns, please also place the “add-on” in your shopping cart.  Due to the way the shopping cart is set-up with the online course, this option has to be added this way.

Please bring the firearm(s) you will list on your permit to class.  We DO NOT allow LIVE AMMUNITION in class.  For obvious reasons, safety is of extreme importance as we’re handling our guns and some students may have little experience, so please do not bring any ammunition with your guns or in your bags.  We will verify this several times throughout the day.  Leave the ammo in your vehicles unless you are meeting us directly at the range for your qualification.

For the Orange County issued license, you’ll need at least 80 rounds for your first handgun for qualification.  We say that you need 80 rounds for your FIRST handgun, because if you’re qualifying for the Orange County issued permit, the sheriff has now lowered the required number of rounds in the qualification for your 2nd gun, 3rd gun, etc.  If you’re doing more than one gun for Orange County or L.A. County, you’ll only need 20 rounds per gun for each gun after your first.  The same goes for adding a gun to your existing permit, in which case you’ll only need 20 rounds.  Ventura County applicants have a different qualification course and will need at least 30 rounds per gun.  San Diego County applicants will need at least 100 rounds for your first gun and if you have subsequent guns, you’ll need at least 30 rounds per gun.

The range doesn’t allow Russian, Polish, or Czech ammo or aluminum casings.  It sounds strange, but they’ve had problems with brands such as PPU, Silver Bear, Brown Bear, Tula, etc. rupturing and causing safety hazards.  You will however need to bring eye and ear protection or plan on buying it at the range or classroom.  The range no longer has them available to borrow nor rent unfortunately.  You will not need any holsters.  It’s simply too dangerous to draw at full speed from the holster in live fire with so many people new to using the technique.  Instead, we’ll be using plastic training guns and holsters in class to practice.  The training guns are also available for sale if you would like to purchase them.  Please bring a pen or pencil to take notes.
Optional Multi-State CCW Qualification

Currently, only 25 other states recognize the California CCW permit as valid or don’t require a CCW permit allow you to carry around the U.S.  By obtaining the Utah, Arizona, and/or Florida CCW non-resident permits, you can extend your legal coverage up to 36 states besides California.  Come in an hour earlier before your California CCW Renewal class and we’ll finish the instruction to sign you off on the Utah permit training and provide you documentation to present to Florida and/or Arizona as well.  We teach the multi-state CCW permit classes by themselves too.  You don’t have to take the California CCW class if you only want the UT, AZ, or FL permits.  The normal going rate for training in California is between $100-$125.  Although we normally instruct the course for $60, we’ll add the instruction to your California CCW class for $30!  Look for the multi-state option to add to your cart at the bottom of the page once you add the California class.

Going around town to get your fingerprints and photos done for the multi-state permits can also be an inconvenience.  Let us handle it for you.  On average, we offer rates less-expensive than anywhere else you could go.  If you’re still not sure which of the optional states you want to apply for and if you want fingerprints done for them, don’t worry because we’ll walk you through the benefits of each during class.  You can decide and pay at that point for the fingerprinting if you need time to decide.

Terms & Conditions

When do I take the class?

Different counties have different requirements as to when this course can be taken in the application process and how long it is deemed valid.  Currently, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department no longer requires you to be pre-approved to take your training class.  In fact, you may take the class up to 6 months before final issuance of your permit.  Ventura County also allows you to take the class before your conditional approval, but they request that you at least have your application submitted and interview scheduled.  San Diego will accept the class as valid for 90 days, but they would like you to at least wait until you’ve paid your initial fee and had your fingerprints taken.  Although wait times in most counties are moving much faster and you should have time to complete the process in the window when the class is still valid, we still can’t guarantee the county sheriffs or DOJ background processing will be done by then.  

We DO NOT offer a refund if you take the class and are later rejected for any reason in the application process.  We cannot guarantee that any applicant will be granted a license.  If you have a clean criminal background, Ventura and Orange Counties have a very high success rate of 98% or more for approvals, but nevertheless, they cannot compel you to take the class before a conditional approval.  San Diego and Los Angeles Counties currently request that the applicant wait until after they receive their approval notification before taking the training course.

Cancellation policy

We understand that sometimes things come up and your schedule changes.  We’re fairly flexible to allow you to make up portions of the day you missed or to reschedule all together, but please advise us within 24 hours of the class to be fair to those trying to get in on a waiting list. 

If you’re taking an Online “Blended-Learning” class, it is your responsibility to have all of the online modules and quizzes showing as completed before attending your range date.  If this has not been done yet, it will be counted the same as a “reschedule”.  A $50 rescheduling fee will be assessed if any class or range date changes are made within a week of the class date and we’re unable to fill your spot.  This is because we have to commit our dates to the range and we need the classes filled in order to make it economically feasible.  We do allow full cancellation and refund (minus any processing fees that the credit card company will not return to us) within 24 hours of purchasing.  Cancellations made beyond 24 hours of your purchase will be counted as credit toward a future class, except in rare emergency situations. Additionally, no cancellations will be refunded if the purchase is made within 72 hours of the start of any in-person portion of the course.  Please understand that we rely on dependable attendance in order to offer the low rates we do.  We cannot issue refunds for classes purchased beyond 5 months due to credit card processing fees and changing operating costs.

Finally, in regards to the Online “Blended-Learning” classes, these courses involve considerable overhead in time and production resources to host online and maintain.  Just like any other e-learning course, students are participating in receiving useful knowledge and instruction, which is compiled from several professional training sources.  When a student begins viewing the e-learning course, they’re being provided a service (training and expertise).  The valid transaction of paying for and accepting this training is not contingent on whether the student chooses whether or not to apply for a CCW license, is ultimately granted a license, fails the course, or makes an error in taking the correct class.  While we hope that students find the information useful (most are successful in obtaining a CCW), how a student uses or doesn’t use the course is outside of our control.  Understand that e-learning instruction is viewed in the same manner as an “all in-person” course that imparts knowledge in a physical classroom.  Consequently, refunds cannot be offered for online courses where the student has already begun viewing the content.  Before starting, please ensure that you’re taking the correct course and that it serves your intended purpose.
