The State of California CCW training requirements may vary from county to county. Best Handgun Training instructors are authorized to instruct CCW courses in several Northern CA counties.  These classes are from 8-16 hour original courses, and 4 hour renewal courses, specific to your county requirements.

CCW Instructors in CA must be approved by the Sheriff of your specific county. 

The CCW course consists of CA laws pertaining to concealed carry and self defense, gun safety, firearms knowledge, holstering and drawing from concealment, concealment methods, situational awareness/real life scenarios, the development of your shooting and marksmanship skills, as well as "qualifying" with the firearms which you wish to have on your permit (up to 3 weapons).

Utah CCW Permits, Nevada and Florida CCW Permits DO NOT allow you to carry a concealed firearm within the State of California. Utah CCW Permits, Nevada and Florida CCW Permits are issued for "Personal Protection". Reciprocity and Recognition of Permits from State to State is a complex issue, we cannot and will not give legal advice. If you need accurate answers to specific legal questions, contact the State Issuing Authority or consult an Attorney who is licensed in the State in question. This is not an NRA approved course.
