Attempted three times to contact someone over the phone. Left a message once, no success yet. Not such a great first impression so room for improvement perhaps.

Mostly well put together. Small gaps in some slide flow but overall pretty good. Videos were good. Some (like cleaning and different pistol types) got a little dry. Other ones were good.

I have not finished all of the training videos but everything else is gone very well. I'm wondering when I'm going to receive my card.

About Concealed Coalition

Written by the company

Concealed Coalition is a U.S.-based firearm training organization that provides state-compliant concealed carry education and safety instruction for eligible adults. The company connects individuals with certified instructors and structured training programs designed to meet state-specific permitting requirements.

The organization operates through a nationwide network of instructors and an online platform that allows individuals to register for courses, review state guidelines, and access educational materials. Concealed Coalition does not issue permits directly; concealed carry permits are issued solely by the appropriate state or local authority following successful completion of required steps.

The training process typically includes classroom or online education covering firearm safety fundamentals, applicable laws, and responsible ownership principles. In many states, instruction may also include a live-fire qualification component conducted by a certified instructor in accordance with state regulations.

Permit approval decisions are made exclusively by the relevant issuing authority and are subject to background checks and statutory eligibility criteria. Completion of a training course does not guarantee permit issuance.

Concealed Coalition provides educational resources to help individuals understand evolving state laws, reciprocity considerations, and responsible firearm storage practices. The company emphasizes legal compliance, safety awareness, and informed decision-making throughout the training process.

Operating nationwide, Concealed Coalition supports individuals seeking structured firearm education through a standardized, compliance-oriented framework designed to align with current state requirements.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback! We are certainly sorry to hear that you did not have an exceedingly positive experience with Concealed Coalition. It is always our goal to provide top-notch, professional training courses, however, we fully understand that our team isn’t for everyone.

We take what we do very seriously and believe strongly in proper firearms education. Firearm training is vital for anyone who intends to carry! Our courses cover topics such as firearm best practices for safety and handling, state-specific laws, situational awareness, threat avoidance, child access prevention, measured responses to danger, and more!

We do take a brief portion of our course to cover your legal options as this is an important component of responsible firearm ownership and carry rights. We strongly advocate for partnership with Firearms Legal Protection, and our course instructors provide all of your choices as well as pertinent information in clear and understandable terms! We do not have hidden fees. Any add-on items are optional during the registration checkout process. The only additional fee that may be incurred is at the range (depending upon live fire requirements, which range is used, and whether or not an individual needs to rent/buy equipment).

If you would like to provide more details regarding your dissatisfaction, please call us directly at 800-990-5594. 🙌

When signing up for my class to get my CCW, they automatically checkmark to buy a concealed coalition holster and some one year training access document that you don't need.

Really bad practice to do that, wasted $50 because of that
