CCL Classes

[EdFC]

Hey! 
 

Wanted to ask and see if anyone had any recommendations for a place to take my CCL classes around the DuPage county area?

 

Thank you!

I have taken the "full" CCL class (16 hours) and two renewal classes. As you reference "around DuPage county", I am including Bolingbrook. While it is is primarily in Will county, there are parts of Bolingbrook in DuPage.

 

West Suburban Concealed Carry (Naperville)- Took both the "initial" CCL class and a renewal class here.

Good classes. Very informative, and instructors (then current/former LE) incorporated "real life" carry experiences. The range is NOT onsite, and might (will) require mid-day transit on the day of the shooting qualification.

 

Range at 355 (Bolingbrook)- Took a renewal class here.

Good class. Did a renwal here based on schedule. Classroom is in the same building where you take your shooting qualification.

 

From what I understand, for the 16 hour class, West Suburban only offers 2-day weekend classes. Occasionally, West Suburban runs a two for one deal- Two people get training for the price of one.

 

I think that at the Range at 355 you might be able to break the class up on some weekdays and weekends.

 

Good luck with your "classwork."

That Two for One would be an awesome deal! I’ll definitely keep an eye out for that. And yes Bolingbrook as well is close enough I just don’t want to drive halfway across the state haha. 
 

Thank you again! Appreciate it!
