State Mandated 8-Hour Renewal Course
Presented By:
This course is currently not available due to the passage of SB2. Once our instructors have met the new State of California Department of Justice requirements for CCW instructors, we will resume offering this 8 hour renewal course.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please remember that voting has consequences and we are all now suffering their devastating ramifications as Californians.
Welcome to your state-mandated 8-hour CCW renewal class. A renewal course will be required every two years to renew your California CCW.
Completion of this online course and your live-fire qualification will enable you to renew your California CCW.
This course is broken up into 12 modules of instruction that you will be tested on at the end of each segment.
You must complete the lecture or reading segment before you will be able to complete the segment test. Please pay attention to the timer at the bottom of the screen before trying to advance to the next section.
You may start and stop as much as you wish, but you will not be able to move on to the next lesson until you have completed the previous lesson and passed the section test.
Once you have completed the course, you will be able to print a certificate of completion for 30 days after completion of the course, so try to print your certificate as soon as you finish. You can also screenshot your certificate with your smartphone. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PRINT A REPLACEMENT AFTER 30 DAYS HAS PASSED FROM THE TIME YOU BEGAN THE COURSE. You will then take that certificate to The Firing Line for your “live-fire” qualification.
The shooting portion of your test can be done at any time The Firing Line is open for shooting. No appointment or special arrangements are necessary to come in and shoot.
To complete a lesson, you MUST wait for the timer at the bottom of each lesson to reach 0. Once the timer reaches 0, the “Complete Lesson” button next to the timer will be highlighted and allow you to click it to complete the lesson. Please do not use the Next Lesson, Previous Lesson links at the bottom as they will reset the timer and not allow you to continue and you will need to wait for the timer to count down again to complete the lesson using the button.
