Our Online California Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) Permit Course is now available to non-residents seeking to obtain a California CCW permit. This fully online training allows individuals across the U.S. to meet California’s 16-hour CCW education requirement from the comfort of home, without the hassle of travel or scheduling conflicts.
The course features in-depth, interactive modules covering firearm safety, legal responsibilities, conflict avoidance, shooting fundamentals, and real-world self-defense strategies. It includes a built-in timer to meet DOJ standards and a final exam to confirm comprehension—ensuring you’re fully prepared to carry legally and responsibly in California.
Important: Your firearms do not need to appear on the California Department of Justice Handgun Roster, as the roster applies only to new dealer sales and not to firearms you already own. However, any handgun you intend to carry must still comply with California law. It may not have a magazine that holds more than ten rounds, and it may not be equipped with a threaded barrel.
We’re proud to share that our course is currently accepted by the Modoc, Sierra, Plumas, Alpine, Tuolumne, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Merced, and Kings County Sheriff, with several other agencies pending approval.
If the county you’re applying through does not yet offer an online course, we encourage you to share this program (Non-Resident Requirement Detail) with them for review. We’re working diligently to expand access and provide an affordable, DOJ-compliant training option for all law-abiding individuals throughout The United States.

The 4 Safety Rules to Live By:
- Treat All Firearms as if They Are Loaded: Never assume a firearm is unloaded—always check and double-check before handling.
- Never Point a Firearm at Anything You Are Not Willing to Destroy: Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.
- Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Shoot: Maintain discipline by keeping your trigger finger outside the trigger guard until your sights are on target.
- Be Sure of Your Target and What Is Beyond It: Always identify your target and what lies beyond to prevent unintended harm.
Course Goal:
The goal of this course is to provide exposure to all topics required by the state of California for a CCW permit. However, continuous learning is essential for staying prepared and responsible. Students are encouraged to build upon this training by exploring additional resources through:
