We have ten NRA Training Counselors (instructor trainers) on our Primary Instructor Team, including five NRA Senior Training Counselors and an NRA Master Training Counselor. In addition, we have several NRA Certified Instructors on our Instructor Team.

COURSE #102 - BEGINNER
If you are brand new to handguns, take our official NRA Basic Pistol course which is open to adults and youth ages 10 and up!
This is truly a beginner's course and the NRA does not allow the outline to be modified to include such topics as the use of deadly force, concealed carry laws, etc.
If you have prior handgun shooting experience, at the level where you are comfortable and safe going to a range for practice by yourself, you may begin with our Multi-State Concealed Handgun Permit Pre-Licensing Course.
We also offer the 4-Hour NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation. This is also a beginner's session with three hours in the classroom and one hour on the range.
The NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation is also great for families wanting to learn the basics of handgun safety, operation, shooting fundamentals and marksmanship together.
Like the NRA Basic Pistol Course, the NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation is not intended to be a concealed carry course and these programs may not contain that type of information. The NRA does not allow instructors to "slice and dice" these programs to turn them into a concealed carry course.
For all NRA courses, PROFIRE USA instructors teach from the official NRA lesson plans and course outline. Since the NRA does not have a concealed carry pre-licensing course, we offer our own 9-hour course that fits in between the beginner's NRA Basic Pistol Course and the NRA Personal Protection courses.
MORE >
COURSE #203 - INTERMEDIATE
After completing NRA Basic Pistol, or with equivalent experience, students proceed to our 8-Hour NRA Personal Protection IN The Home course which focuses on using a handgun for protection in your home.
This course includes three hours of range work plus a presentation by an attorney.
MORE >
COURSE #204 - INTERMEDIATE
Next comes our 16-Hour NRA Personal Protection OUTSIDE The Home course designed to help you develop real defensive handgun skills for concealed carry including eight hours of range work.
As with the "inside" course, an attorney presents vital information about the laws and use of deadly force in self-defense.

NEW OFFICER / REQUAL
Many of our trainers have prior law enforcement experience and we all highly value the service of our law enforcement professionals.
While our focus is not on regular duty training of sworn officers, we can help new cadets get up to speed when they lack previous firearms experience and existing officers with their ongoing re-qualification.
We also have programs available to help small agencies who may not have the budget to keep a firearms instructor on staff and/or to send officers to outside training. We may be able to offer some training sessions at no charge.
Please contact us for more information.

COURSE #201 - INTERMEDIATE
Complete our PROFIRE USA CHP-201 Multi-State Concealed Handgun Pre-Licensing Course, and one of two subsequent range sessions, then apply for multiple permits for carry in up to 33 states! The permit issued in Colorado is accepted in 29 states. Adding the Utah permit as a second permit currently adds four additional states: WA, MN, OH & VA.
Our concealed carry course is widely known and respected because it runs a full 9 hours in the classroom with multiple instructors present. Each student receives an individual, one-on-one handgun handling instruction session with an instructor.
Prior handgun shooting experience is required for enrollment in the PROFIRE USA Multi-State Concealed Handgun Permit Pre-Licensing Course. True handgun beginners are moved to the official NRA Basic Pistol Course.
PROFIRE USA requires all students seeking a concealed carry permit to complete a live-fire range session.
Unfortunately, there are other training providers that teach inadequate, "coffee & donut" classes. Thus, we have decided to take a leadership role and require a live-fire range session for all permit applicants.
To satisfy the live-fire range requirement, PROFIRE USA offers two options including a separate 4-Hour, IDH-202 Introduction to Defensive Handgun course. Topics include proper and safe presentation from the holster, rapid aiming techniques, after-action movement and more. Tuition for IDH-202 is reduced from $125 to $79 for graduates of CHP-201.
This range session is recommended for all students and required for those who do not demonstrate competency during the handling session in the classroom.
Students with significant prior handgun shooting experience may opt for a shorter range qualification session (LFQ-201) with a $15 range fee instead of the IDH-202 course.
In contrast, there are some instructors who proudly advertise their 3 to 4 hour evening permit courses where students do not need prior handgun experience and they do not even touch a handgun or take a exam.
Carrying a concealed handgun to protect yourself and your loved ones comes with HUGE responsibility. Our course includes information on ways you can increase your situational awareness so that you may avoid potentially dangerous situations.
A concealed handgun is a tool of absolute last resort. Using it safely and effectively under extremely stressful conditions requires training beyond the basics.
Do not settle for a quickie course when there is so much responsibility associated with carrying a concealed handgun. Take our 9-hour classroom session followed by the 4-hour range session.
"Learn something.
Develop real skills.
Do it right." ™

COURSE #202 - INTERMEDIATE
We require our concealed carry students to complete our IDH-202 Intro to Defensive Handgun course if they do not have prior handgun shooting experience and we urge all students to take it.
Multiple instructors on the firing line provide individualized instruction and safety. For many students, this range session is the first time that they have shot with a focus on defensive accuracy.
This introductory defensive handgun range course covers safe and effective presentation form the holster, rapid aiming techniques, after-action movement and other important information for concealed carry permit holders who want more than the just the permit itself.
