Full description and what we offer
The Concealed Carry Institute has been teaching concealed carry fundamentals since 1995, when Virginia law standardized permit issuance across the state. Instead of forcing you to sit through a Saturday class, they deliver everything online: watch the video when it fits your schedule, take the test at your own pace, print the certificate, and submit it to your county clerk.
1. Register and pay ($39.99 for the class) 2. Watch the professional training video at your pace—pause, rewind, watch again 3. Take the test when ready 4. Print your certificate immediately 5. Submit to your county for permit processing
Students report receiving their permits in less than a week after submission.
People consistently mention three things: the video quality is professional and engaging, the instructor's deadpan humor makes safety content actually interesting, and the flexibility beats traditional weekend classes.
Real feedback from permit holders:
The math: You avoid driving hours to a weekend class, take it when convenient, and pay $39.99. Most traditional instructors charge $75–$125 for in-person courses.
Students range from absolute beginners who've never touched a handgun to experienced shooters getting their first permit. The video covers firearm fundamentals, safety, legal requirements, and situational awareness—scaled for all experience levels.
They offer a free permit renewal reminder service. Virginia permits are valid for 5 years. They'll email you before expiration so you don't miss the window.
If you refer someone, you earn $6.00 per person who uses your referral number. Checks mail by the 10th of the month. No purchase necessary to join. You get a unique referral number and can print business cards with your contact info.
The online class met Virginia requirements until January 1, 2021, when state law changed. The course is now available for Iowa residents at their Iowa-specific website. Virginia residents can still use the site to access renewal reminders and review materials.
