9 Hours - $100

This class provides the North Carolina DPS required classroom training and firearm qualification students need in order to obtain a North Carolina CCW permit.

Goal:
To train and qualify a student to submit application to the North Carolina DPS for CCW. Upon completion, students will have the following materials required to submit their application:

• Instructor certification for completed classroom curriculum.

• Instructor certification for completed handgun qualification test.

Prerequisite:

• Basic proficiency with a handgun

NC-CCW classes are not intended to train students how to shoot a handgun. The qualification test portion of the course is required by the State of North Carolina in order to demonstrate your ability to safely and properly handle and shoot a handgun. We recommend that students have either law enforcement, military or some other certified training which teaches the basic safe handling and fundamentals of pistol shooting before attending this class.

Class Duration:

• 8 hours of combined classroom instruction and handgun qualification testing

• Range time will vary based on number of students and their level of proficiency

Correct, store bought ammunition, 100 rounds. Reloaded ammunition will not be permitted for safety reasons.
