Become a DOJ CCW Certified Instructor and teach how to carry with confidence.
California’s CCW landscape requires instructors to meet strict standards set by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). NRA CCW Instructors already hold one of the DOJ‑approved national credentials listed in California Code of Regulations, Title 11, §4410(c)—meaning they are eligible to apply for DOJ CCW Instructor certification.
This Combination Course Path is designed to bridge national NRA CCW Instructor training with California‑specific CCW requirements, giving instructors a clear, compliant, and efficient route to becoming DOJ‑Certified CCW Instructors.
