What every class on this list gives you
Training the state accepts
Every class here meets the Michigan CPL training requirement under Public Act 719. Your certificate is valid when you apply at the county clerk, and you get it the day you finish.
Live fire, not a video
Classroom instruction and range time in the same day, with a certified instructor watching your grip and your stance and correcting them in person.
Built for first timers
Most students in these classes have handled a pistol very little or not at all. You get coached at your own pace, and questions are welcome at any point in the day.
Questions students ask
Is this class approved for a Michigan CPL?
Yes. Every class listed here meets the Michigan CPL training requirements, and the certificate you receive is valid for your application at the county clerk.
Do I need any experience?
No. Beginners are welcome and plenty of students are shooting for the first time. You will be coached at your own pace.
How long does the class take?
One day. The classroom material and the live fire range session happen in the same session.
Do I need my own pistol?
Not usually. Most ranges rent a pistol and sell ammunition for the range portion. Check the class listing for details, or call us at (248) 662-5744 before you book.
What should I bring?
A valid state ID, closed toe shoes, a pen and something to write on. Bring your own pistol and ammunition if you have them, cased and unloaded.
What happens after the class?
Take your certificate to your county clerk, fill out the application and get fingerprinted. The clerk handles the rest and your license comes in the mail.
