The largest county in America by area, served by training that meets you where you are.
San Bernardino County covers more ground than nine U.S. states — from the Inland Empire's city grid through the Cajon Pass to the High Desert. Its CCW applicants are just as spread out: commuters in Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana, families in the mountain communities, and desert residents for whom the nearest sheriff's station is a genuine drive. Training shouldn't be another logistics problem, which is why our scheduling runs seven days a week.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department handles licensing countywide, and its process has historically moved at a steadier clip than coastal counties — a real advantage for applicants who show up prepared. The standard elements apply: state application, residency documents, training certificate, interview, and Live Scan. Check the current eligibility requirements before you file; the county's review is objective, and disqualifiers surface fast.
Our 16-hour initial course and 8-hour renewal course are state-compliant and accepted for San Bernardino County applications. Every course finishes with live-fire qualification with each handgun going on your license. Students routinely pair class with a weekend — both course days scheduled back-to-back so one trip covers the requirement.
