The course includes both classroom instruction and supervised qualification shooting. Students must be 21+ with a valid Illinois FOID card.

|---|---|---|
| CCW Renewal | 3 hours | Illinois law review + qualification shooting |
| First Step Handgun | 3–4 hours | Basic safety and fundamentals |

The defensive pistol course is new for 2025 and emphasizes real-world application—the difference between picking up a gun at the range and safely drawing from concealment under pressure.
