SB2-COMPLIANT CCW TRAINING

California CCW Training — Orange County & LA County Approved

SB2-compliant courses for first-time applicants and permit renewals. Approved by the Orange County and Los Angeles County Sheriffs.

UNDERSTANDING SB2

What California Law Requires

Senate Bill 2 (SB2) established mandatory training hours for all CCW applicants and renewals in California. Here's what you need to know:

INITIAL APPLICANTS

16 Hours Required

If you are applying for a California CCW permit for the first time, SB2 requires a minimum of 16 hours of approved firearms training. This includes live fire qualification and a legal curriculum covering the use of force, California gun laws, and safe storage.

RENEWAL APPLICANTS

8 Hours Required

If you hold a California CCW permit and are renewing before it expires, SB2 requires a minimum of 8 hours of approved refresher training. Topics include updated legal requirements and a live fire component.

APPROVED INSTRUCTORS

Instructor Approval Matters

Not all CCW instructors are approved by your county's Sheriff. To use your training certificate for a CCW application, your instructor must be approved by the Sheriff of the county where you are applying. Cert Instructor Pro is approved by both the Orange County and LA County Sheriffs.
