Concealed carry classes
Start with the Commonwealth training catalog to compare current classes and find the option that matches your experience and goals.
Before you book, review the course description, classroom or range location, what to bring, and the completion documents provided. Ask the training team if you are unsure which class to choose.
Looking for an introduction to firearm safety or a class to continue your education? Browse the current training options and choose a course appropriate to your experience.
Check prerequisites, equipment requirements and whether a particular session includes range time. The course listing is the source for the current schedule, price and meeting location.
Use Commonwealth’s dedicated DCJS catalog for private security training. Compare the course title and code with your professional training goal before registering.
Check whether a listing is entry-level or in-service, along with prerequisites and required documents. Confirm questions about your registration or credential with the training provider and Virginia DCJS.
Open the Commonwealth training catalog for concealed carry and firearms classes, or the DCJS catalog for private security training. Each course listing supplies its current availability and registration details.
Are concealed carry and DCJS classes the same?
They address different training goals. Start with the general training catalog for personal firearms education and the DCJS catalog for private security training. Ask the provider which course matches your particular goal before enrolling.
Can I register for a class through the VTSA shopping bag?
No. The VTSA store checkout is for retail merchandise. Training registration, payments and class-specific policies are handled through Commonwealth.
Does every class meet at the Henrico store?
Do not assume the store is your class location. Check the venue and arrival instructions in your course listing and registration confirmation.
Who can help with gun store or local merchandise questions?
