AZ CCW Permit firearm safety course requirements

[45user]

Hello all,
I want to submit an application for AZ CCW permit. Under their eligibility criteria it says that I need to take a firearm safety course. I am a certified NRA basic pistols instructor. Would that qualify for their requirement? Also my wife and I took pistol craft 110 from top gun training center many years ago and we do have certificate of completion from them, would that satisfy their requirement?
Thank you for your help!

I believe it just needs a NRA certified class which you have to show a completed cert. I'm not sure you can write your own but have a associate sign one for you. Btw I would love to take one of your classes. As I need to obtain a cert too. And I wouldn't mind some extra handling skills.

I have had mine a couple of years. I sent them a copy of my CA CCW and the certificate from the CCW class. I don't think they are really picky about the class as long as you can send something.

I used my hunting safety cert from 20 years ago.

I used my DD-214.

Seven years ago when I got mine I used my HSC and they accepted it!

If this is still active I would apply today. Can you confirm that this will work?

All I sent was a copy of my CA CCW that was good enough

I don't know as it was seven years ago. Call Arizona DPS and ask them.

As an NRA instructor, you should be good to go. You will need to formally apply and send in your fingerprints as well.

Much easier than California, for sure.

If you're an NRA instructor you're probably good to go. Do you have a certificate of something that proves your certification? Also try submitting your Firearm Safety Certificate as well.

Their requirements are super easy to meet. If your certificate as a NRA certified instructor isn't good enough you can easily take a free online class.

Your NRA Cert should work. As a certified NRA basic pistols instructor can you give your wife a safety course??

I had Handgun basic safety and home defense class certifications. These were the classes I took at Chabot rod n gun couple years ago. Are these good enough?

These were not NRA classes. Thanks!

I highly doubt it. I submitted CA post cert with firearms and that got denied.
