He was extremely helpful, kind, and interactive throughout the entire class. He made sure everyone understood the material and took the time to answer questions without making anyone feel rushed. One of the best parts of the class was Orville's sense of humor. He kept the training engaging, entertaining, and easy to follow while still covering all the important information. His professionalism, knowledge, and friendly attitude made for a great learning experience. If you're looking for a CCW instructor who is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about his students, I would highly recommend Orville Write.

But once the class began, the way Mike and Katie structure the course makes everything incredibly approachable and easy to retain. By the end, you walk out feeling far more informed and genuinely confident. During the live portion, they're great at spotting habits we don't even realize we have, and they correct them in a way that feels supportive rather than stressful. Their teaching style really puts you at ease. I'm so glad I found them. I'll definitely be keeping up with my permit renewals through their classes. Absolutely worth the time and money.

I contacted about 10 schools and most didn't respond timely, or just directed me to interact with their websites. Katie was patient and responsive that helped me through the registration process as someone new to a convoluted process and not familiar with the various agencies, forms and requirements. Throughout the course, Katie and her husband demonstrated deep knowledge and experience with both firearm operations and safety, and even more importantly, the current laws from federal to state that are relevant to a CCW holder. They do not provide legal opinion, only sharing the facts. I also appreciated the way they conduct the class with no personal nor political opinions or views, just facts with what's currently allowed or not allowed. I heard some horror stories from fellow classmates that had dealt with other CCW instructors on the list and felt very fortunate that I ended up at the CCW School. Given my 10 years of range history, and CCW holder for several other states for the past 3 years, I learned ALOT from Katie and appreciate the vigor CA put behind the program. I believe this is a valuable course for anyone considering CCW.

It was highly informative and challenging for all of us. The Friday classes are usually very small handful of people and allows us to go for more advanced drills which we wouldn't be able to do otherwise in a larger class of say 10-16. I much prefer it this way. Tim is an excellent trainer and I appreciate his depth of knowledge and willingness to tailor his approach to each students level of abilities. I've taken rifle-1, shotgun-1, tactical pistol 1 and have scheduled pistol-2 next month. I plan to try and take one of his classes at least a couple times a year

Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and aside from learning how the gun operates, safety and cleaning of the weapon, she also provided great information on regulatory laws, types of safes and correct methods of transporting your firearm. The trip to the gun range gave me a chance to put into practice what she taught us. She's ex-military so if you feel like you're in boot camp while at the range, it's all good. She wants to make sure that you learn safety not only for yourself, but for others around you. An added benefit, for an additional cost, you can also get your Firearm Safety Certificate. I highly recommend taking this course. I definitely plan on taking additional courses. Thanks Lisa!

Arron and his team are the best out there. I have been shooting for years now and have been…read moretrained by some good firearms instructors. I can tell you if you have Arron train you, you will go from having a good instructor good to a great instructor. He has improved my shooting skills to a marksman level. He teaches all levels of firearms training from beginners, moderate to experienced shooters. He focuses on proper gripping of the firearm, stance, breathing, hand and arm placement/coordination, trigger pull, reloading etc. all of which improved my skills. And he is very comprehensive in insuring his clients are informed about compliance of the law in every aspect depending on the class you are taking. His intangibles with his clients are second to none: caring, patient, informative, detailed oriented, laser focused, systematic, organized, disciplined, safety focused, self motivated just to name a few. Don't waste your time hiring a firearms instructor with an ego and attitude who intimidates you at the range (you know what I'm talking about). If you want the best, who is highly skilled and knowledgeable in this field, and who is patient, caring and understanding and will work with you based on your skill level, look no further. Arron is your guy.

5 stars - Outstanding LASD CCW training with Hansen Firearms Training…read more I recently completed my initial 16-hour Concealed Carry Weapon course with Hansen Firearms Training for my Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department application, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The classroom portion was thorough, well-organized, and engaging. The instructor did a fantastic job covering everything required under the current California standards while keeping the material clear and practical. What stood out most was the hands-on instruction on the range. The instructor took the time to teach proper firearm grip and handling techniques drawn from his prior professional training experience. These methods made a noticeable difference and helped build real confidence with the firearm. The Long Beach training location was very convenient for me living in Lakewood. Scheduling was straightforward, the process was efficient, and everything needed for the LASD paperwork (Certificate of Completion and Shooting Proficiency Standards form) was handled smoothly and professionally. Overall, this was high-quality, no-nonsense training that prepared me well for the qualification and the rest of the CCW process. I would highly recommend Hansen Firearms Training to anyone going through their LASD (or other Southern California) permit. Great instruction, solid facility, and a positive experience all around.

Based on the reviews from the other schools, I was hesitant, and a little apprehensive hoping the instructors here were different then the other schools I read. Natalie was super informative, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly in the classroom training. She went over every module clearly and using current every day examples to make the lesson extremely relatable and easy to understand. The range day was also excellent. The instructors, Richard and Natalie were very helpful always prioritizing safety first. I really appreciated that. They took their time showing everything you would need, from safety, to practicing drawing from your EDC items, to tips for better marksmanship. I can't say enough on how happy I was to have went with them. Now that I was approved for my CCW license, I will be enrolling with them in the future for my renewals. Thank you so much Natalie and Richard for your training and expertise. Your tutelage is truly saving lives.
