Our CCW Training approach

Yolo County CCW Training

Students collaborate with instructors who observe performance and lead corrective drills, both in the classroom and on the range, to sharpen precision.

The Yolo County CCW training is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the attitude, skills, and knowledge necessary to prepare them for the unexpected encounter for which they might find themselves. This firearms course was designed for the beginner to advanced shooter who is looking to gain their Yolo Conceal Carry license.

The following topics will be covered in the CCW class, but this is not a comprehensive list as we do our best to tailor the class topics to the needs of the given audience participants.

  • California Laws governing the use of deadly force
  • Firearms and home/vehicle safety
  • Pistol nomenclature and selecting a pistol for self-defense
  • Ammunition knowledge and defensive ammunition selection
  • Basic defensive pistol skills
  • Drawing from concealment
  • Loading and stoppage remediation
  • Defensive mindset and awareness
  • Carry modes and pistol concealment
  • Firearms qualification course

This is not a beginner’s pistol class.  It is expected you are proficient in the use of your firearm.  Attendance of this CCW class alone does not guarantee successful passing of the class.  If you need a beginner pistol class please let us know and we can schedule something with you before you attend this class. 

We offer the 16-hour required training the Yolo County Sheriff requires of CCW applicants.  Be sure to check with your issuing entity to verify their training requirement.


16 Hour Course

The training is approximately 8 hours of classroom work and 8 hours of range time. The time will vary depending on number of students and their ability.
