The two-day class scheduled for October 4 and 5, 2025, offers a solid foundation through a 16-hour firearms safety curriculum along with 2 hours of live fire training that satisfies strict NYPD requirements. This practical training ensures you are confident in handling your firearm safely in real-life situations.
In addition to physical training, understanding the application process can often be a complex hurdle. This class provides expert guidance on navigating the NYPD's online licensing portal, a critical resource for starting your CCW application. You will learn the necessary documentation requirements, including the need to provide proof of citizenship or valid immigration status, a valid New York State driver’s license or non-driver ID, your Social Security card or W-2 form showing your full SSN, and proof of completing firearms safety training. Chells Upscale Armed Services ensures that the certificate from this training is accepted by the NYPD, which is crucial for your application to be approved.
The class being held at the Hampton Inn LaGuardia Airport provides a convenient location for New York residents, and with a class fee of $600 (including a deposit), you receive not only top-tier training but also invaluable peace of mind knowing you are meeting all legal requirements. Enrolling early is recommended as seats tend to fill quickly due to high demand.
Ultimately, proper training combined with a clear understanding of the application procedure helps you stay protected and legal, reinforcing safety for yourself and the community. By completing this course, you commit to responsible firearm ownership and are better equipped to respond confidently and safely while exercising your rights under New York law.
