As a USCCA Certified Curriculum approved by the Illinois State Police, you can expect more than just a boring packet of information. You will be emailed a digital booklet for the class when you sign up online and/or a printed version at the class itself, but you will also be immersed in an interactive lesson that includes dummy ammunition rounds, holsters, training pistols, and more items to facilitate hands-on learning.

​

The length of the class is 16 Hours total of certified instruction over the course of 2 days.

Day 1 covers gun safety & handling, self-defense planning, and conflict avoidance.

Day 2 covers Illinois & Federal Law, as well as the shooting qualification.

​

For the shooting qualification, your instructor(s) are your Range Officer as well as the employees that work at the range. You'll be taught many range commands in the class prior to going on to the range.

 

To qualify you must live fire with a concealable firearm consisting of 10 rounds from 5 yds; 10 rounds from 7 yds; and 10 rounds from 10 yds at a B-27 silhouette target. 70% (21 out of the total 30) must hit in the scoring area of the target.

You will have 2 chances to qualify.

​

There is no shooting training or practice involved, just the qualification.
