Took my original CCL training with Thomas back in 2014 and my CCL renewal in 2019. Clear and concise presentation that is delivered in a way that holds your attention.

What a class. The instructor was the best instructor motivator and demonstrator. The class was 16 hours of information. At the gun range I had a chance to check out other instructors from other companies. So I got to compare. I am so lucky and happy I chose Alpha Koncepts and there is no where else I will go for additional training

Frequent Concealed Carry Class Questions…
No. While some instructors will require students to have their own gun to take the class, Alpha Koncepts understands many students are new to the gun world. Therefore we include a segment in our class about how to purchase the right gun for you and will gladly rent handguns to our students to use for class.
No. While some instructors do require students have a FOID card to take the Illinois Concealed Carry Licensing class, Alpha Koncepts will allow students to attend without a FOID card. In fact if you do not already have a FOID card, we recommend you apply for one at the same time as your concealed carry license, but not sooner. We shall discuss how to apply in class.
Class dates can be found on the Alpha Koncepts calendar or you may contact us to speak to one of the staff.
Range fees may be additional. Check the individual calendar listing to be sure! Your state application fee(s) are not included. These fees are paid directly to the state. Finger prints are optional for the Illinois concealed carry license application and therefore are not included. Most students do not get finger printed for the Illinois license. Students will be required to provide ammunition and firearms, or may also rent them.
Finger prints are optional and not a requirement of the Illinois Concealed Carry License, but are for Florida and Arizona. However students may choose to have their finger prints taken for Illinois. This shall be discussed in class. More information can be read here. Are finger prints required for an Illinois Concealed Carry License?
