CONCEALED CARRY

It's easy to carry a gun. The responsibility that comes with it is another story.


CCW PERMIT (VENTURA COUNTY) HYBRID (ONLINE AND IN-PERSON) COURSE

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Starting with the March 2025 class, the Covered 6 CCW training will be switching to a hybrid learning model moving forward. For Initial CCWs this means that instead of showing up in person for 2 full days (16 hrs), you will now do the first 8 hrs online in a self-paced course prior to the in person qualification day (8 hrs).  For Renewals you will complete (4) hours online prior to the in person qualification.

Get Trained. Get Certified. Carry Responsibly.

The Covered 6 Carrying Concealed Weapon (CCW) Training Course is the official training required by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department to obtain a CCW permit in Ventura County, California. This comprehensive hybrid course covers:
