The is by far the best CCW training you can get. Affordability is great not an arm and a leg but affordable. Staff were great. Respectful and professional. When you go don't forget to pet Daisy. That dog is awesome. Only recommendation I would suggest is for the renewal class to do more drills from concealment and run some drills. Other than that we had a great time. Keep up the good work Katie and Mike. read more

Katie and Mike, I just want to thank you both for the excellent experience with The CCW School. Katie, you were extremely helpful answering my questions and supporting me through signing up for and the completion of the coursework. Mike, live-fire training was a blast! I enjoy your humor and style teaching in the classroom and on the range! The CCW Patch for scoring all shots within the 10 ring was such a cool, unexpected reward! I look forward to taking more courses with you guys in the future. Maybe we will see you at the range!! read more

The CCW School is the best place to receive training for concealed carry in Southern California. I took their online course, and it gave a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guideline on topics like gun safety, proper shooting mechanics, and California state laws. My experience with the in-person initial course was excellent. Katie and Mike gave a great overview of the online course, and the live fire portion was smooth. They care about each student and want all to succeed. I came back to do an amendment class and had another wonderful experience. Andrew was very chill and was encouraging during the live fire portion. I highly recommend using this resource if you want to get your concealed carry permit. read more

Katie responds to every question and concern with light speed. Mike was our trainer last night, great attitude, gives clear and concise instruction in class and on the range. My shooting was a bit sloppy last night, Mike gave me a quick grip tip that got me back on track. My wife will enroll shortly. read more

My experience with the CCW School was top notch! The instructors are experts in shooting and the laws that apply to CCW holders. I expected a boring class, reviewing endless laws and regulations. What i actually experienced was a lively class with real world applications. The class was a little drive from Los Angeles, but well worth the drive. I strongly recommend you reach out to Katie and Mike for all of your shooting needs. read more

Katie and Mike are amazing instructors! Knowledgeable, professional, and made the CCW course easy, safe, and enjoyable. Thank you both!

I let my CCW that I have had for 8 years lapse. Ugh. I found this place on a recommendation from a place that did my Lifescan. I went through the entire 16 hour class again. I loved the instructors they were great especially with safety. The class was full. The online part was easy to follow and go through. They are worth every penny. read more

Amazing teachers, great CCW class. Highly recommend. I will be using them for my renewal.

Got my license renewed in no time!! Great service!! The lady instructor is on point and did very well!

I did my CCW renewal training and qualification at The CCW School today. They provided a perfectly balanced blend of professionalism and friendliness throughout the entire day, through all phases of the process. I appreciated their strict and thorough administration of the live fire session. Their keen eye for detail and a well-designed system ensured an efficient and, more importantly, safe time at the range. The classroom training was very informative and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Thanks for the snacks! Overall, I feel like I definitely got my money's worth and will gladly return for future renewal training. I'm happy to give The CCW School my highest recommendation. It's difficult to imagine how this training can be done any better. Thanks Katie and Mike for your commitment to running a top flight small business. Ok... 2 things you need to know when you sign up: 1) it's cold at FT3 Tactical. Bring a jacket. 2) some of the classroom chairs get pretty uncomfortable, pretty quickly. Consider bringing a cushion. read more

Katie and Mike was exceptionally thorough and patience throughout the whole classes. Will be back for my renewal and invite some friends to join read more

The CCW School is great for competitive pricing, online convenience and flexible scheduling. I've been to different schools for my renewal every two years and so far the level of responsiveness and convenience here is top notch. I had to get my renewal done in three days and Katie was able to make scheduling seamless. She's always on top of her emails. In person, Mike was informative and made live-fire training fun. They're the best option for convenience! read more

Needed a flexible option that fit my schedule and The CCW School was a perfect fit. I was able to register for the online course and start working through the material on the same day. Katie responded to texts quickly and was able to accommodate my live fire test within the same week plus she really knows her stuff. The in person session focused on the most crucial elements that you want to really know including common misconceptions and clarity on the ways the law has changed recently in the past couple of years. The session was interactive and she took the time to answer every question thoroughly and clearly. Katie offered useful reminders, insights and tips that everyone should be aware of for safety and for your own legal protection. The actual live fire portion was organized, smooth and straightforward. She will offer you feedback and tips to make you more proficient on the range and nothing gets past her. I would highly recommend her online course and her live fire sessions. They offer a clear schedule list of sessions so you can plan your in person qualification weeks in advance or they take off schedule appointments that fit your needs, for a reasonable fee. If you're looking to get your CCW training or renewal certificate I highly recommend Katie at The CCW School. They do in person classes too. I think I'll do an extra training with her very soon. read more

I took the basic pistol course and the CCW course and they were both great. Katie and Mike are so patient and willing to answer questions. Katie made the basic pistol course fun and informative, the day went by so fast. I highly recommend CCW School for beginners or seasoned firearm owners. read more

The CCW School - Basic pistol to CCW. Thank you Katie and Mike! - Firearm Training Near Me - Fullerton, California

PS: I do not recommend getting the $100 Arizona & Florida CCW bundle they offer. It's essentially $100 for information you can find off the web in 10-15 minutes. You still have to pay separately for the actual permit applications to those states & submit them yourself. Save your cash in my opinion! I booked this online class and in person training / qualification and the $300 cost was the cheapest I could find. The instructors are nice and the experience overall was great! read more

I had a great class with Katie and Mike. I did my initial CCW training through their online course and it was super convenient to be able to go at my own pace. The live fire qualification was held at Insight shooting range which was also awesome as it's local to me. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. I had such a great experience that I returned to them a few months later to make an amendment to my CCW and add a second firearm. The process was smooth and I will for sure be back when renewal time is up. read more

Katie was great at accommodating a date that worked for my chaning schedule. Once there, everything was handled efficiently. I had a great time in here class for the live fire and would recommend her to anyone looking to get their CCW for LA or Orange County. read more

Katie and her staff were professional and really down to earth. Not to mention they're very well informed and knowledgeable in the subject matter. I will definitely be returning for my renewal. read more

Both Katie and Mike were awesome. I loved the presentations, class format and interaction involved in all aspects of the class. I highly recommend the classes they offer to anyone interested in CCW or the other services they offer. Check them out, you won't regret it! read more

This is the place to go for your training and ccw. The class was engaging, thorough, and efficiently taught. Katie covered many use cases, scenarios, and legal aspects of the ccw. I also really appreciated Mike's instructions for live fire training, He ensured we were safe at all times and that everyone knew what they were supposed to do. Definitely one of the best ccw classes in OC and LA. I highly recommend Katie and Mike and will definitely see them again when the time comes for my next renewal! read more

What an amazing experience here at the CCW School. Katie was nothing short of a well experienced, professional and fun instructor. I thought my 16 hours of combined classroom and range time was going to be long and exhausting but instead it went by really fast, I learned a ton of information and even made some new friends. I can't say enought about Katie and Mike. I will be returning here in the future for further classes and when I need to renew my CCW. SAMUEL. read more

I contacted Katie wanting to get a renewal class on short notice. The class coming up in three days was full but I could jump in at the end of the range portion to do my qualifications individually. One line portion was informative, classroom with Katie was even better. She is a good teacher. When it came time to go to the range she informed me the fee I was quoted (it was minimal) was waived because there was room for me in the class afterall. She didn't have to do that. Katie's husband ran us through some training/drills before qualification, which was fun (and useful). Overall, a win! read more

Great experience with The CCW School. The online course was super informative and very convenient if you have a busy schedule. I was unable to make the times for the regular Live Fire test, and Katie was very helpful in scheduling an off-hours time that I could attend. The Live Fire test was actually kind of fun and Mike made it enjoyable. Easy to add-on multiple guns or even expand to multiple states. Highly recommend this place if you are getting your CCW. I'll be referring my friends next! read more

Great class and the instructors were awesome. I will see them again in 2 years for next renewal.

Excellent CCW course! Highly recommend. Instructors are very knowledgeable and great to work with.

Highly Recommend! Very convenient, Katie is very helpful, CCW School makes the overall process a smooth experience.

Amazing course and rare personal touch! Katie's The CCW School is top notch. The online coursework was filled with all of the right information to be well-versed in what is required and responsibilities of having a CCW permit. The course was concise, and Katie offers a personal touch if you have any questions or needs along the way. She gives you her personal cell number and email. The final, which is the live fire qualification, is super easy to schedule, and the calendar has so much availability. If you're wanting to get your CCW permit in Orange County CA, this is the best school for completing your coursework!! read more

I checked out the CCW school for my gun safety handling class, and also because I working on obtaining my CCW. Katie was awesome!!! She was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable, and I left with an amazing experience. I highly recommend! read more

I've been renewing my ccw license for many years now and the CCW School is by far the best and most thoroughly run program I've participated in. The instructors were very patient, engaging, well versed in California concealed carry law, and provided a live fire instruction second to none. The online program was not only full of pertinent information that other programs never touched on, but the fact that you could go back and refer to prior lessons really helped solidify the information being taught. I highly recommend the CCW school to anyone looking for a ccw licensing course or renewal program. read more

Long review: Though I took the CCW School Basics class with a pretty solid foundation and experience, I was looking to learn about how things are done in SoCal, from the ground up. Mike was not only accommodating to these moving parts, but he demonstrated a desire to have me leave that class with something solid, regardless of my experience. The folks at CCW He not only took my unfounded fear out of the CA ccw system, but put the edge back on my desire to put rounds down-range, on target, and with purpose. He showed that even a basic class can benefit even the saltiest immensely, if they're willing to "show up", be open, and ready to learn. 10/10. read more

Mike and Katie are the best !!! Very fun and friendly classes .. will recommend Very knowledgeable

Extremely great class and value. I honestly thought it was going to be death by Powerpoint but the instructors, Katie and Mike, were energetic, engaging and very informative. Classroom location was great and the range was top notch. Highly recommended and completely worth the drive if you are thinking it might be too far. Will definitely take my recertification with The CCW School when the time comes. read more

Very thorough and professional team with curriculum ensuring proper safety and expectations are met with their applicants. Highly recommend for initial, renewing and amending licensees. read more

I originally contacted the CCW School to sign up for a Basic Firearms class but after talking to Katie, the co-owner, I also signed up for the CCW training class. I was impressed with Katie because she answered my call immediately and spent a good amount of time with me explaining all their services, the CCW license process and also answering all of my questions. I even texted Katie the next day with more questions and she instantly responded via text. I attended the private Basic Firearms class which was taught by Mike (Katie's husband) and it was great. Mike is very patient and has a very calming attitude that really helped me absorb all the training tips. I learned a lot from the class and I'm so happy I signed up before taking the CCW training. Katie taught the classroom section of the CCW training and she was great! It's a lot of information to go over but Katie made it interesting and put her own twist on it so everyone was focused on her. All of the slides and videos that were used were understandable and useful. Katie also made sure everyone was comfortable and knew exactly when it was time to take a short break. You can tell that her and her husband have taken the time to create this class in manner that all the information is explained properly and everyone can understand. At the end of the class they even asked all the students to give suggestions on how they can improve. The range part of the class was taught by Mike and just like the private lesson, he did a great job! We all ran through some exercises before taking the shooting test and Mike focused on safety and spent a good amount of time which each student giving tips and suggestions. Unfortunately, I live pretty far away from the CCW school but I am so glad I choose this school. The extra time for me to drive to the location was definitely worth it and I would suggest anyone who lives in the LA area who needs to attend any classes or training to definitely consider the CCW School. I will be suggesting it to all my friends who are interested in training or getting a CCW. read more

Katie/ Mike you guys the best thank you so much for the 16 hours training it's really amazing and it was a pleasure to train with you guys, I recommend Wish you guys all the best. Asaad Salim. read more
