Green Valley Range in Henderson runs Nevada CCW initial and renewal courses that meet state requirements: multi-hour classroom instruction, a written exam and a firearms proficiency test that qualifies you for Nevada — and a second state permit — after you complete instruction and the range portion.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE CERTIFICATION

State-mandated classroom and dual-permit certification

The program delivers the required 5–8 hours of instruction, a written exam and firearms qualification and will certify you for two state permits (Nevada and Florida) on successful completion.

THE RANGE

Short live-fire qualification with rentals available

Qualification requires at least 30 rounds and includes approximately 30 minutes on the range; targets and eye and ear protection are provided, and handgun rentals cost $10 plus ammunition if you need one.

THE LOGISTICS

Clear pricing and an added sheriff’s fee

Pricing separates instruction and range fees (Initial: instruction plus range; Renewal: lower instruction fee plus range) and does not include the Sheriff's Department fees for fingerprinting, photos and background checks (approximately $100).

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Expect a focused, procedural day that pairs classroom instruction with a brief live-fire segment: the initial course spans a full day with a lunch break, while the renewal is a shorter half-day — both end with a written exam and a timed qualification on the range.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course suits — and who should prepare differently.

1
Experienced ShootersWell suited: the course focuses on legal instruction and a brief proficiency test, not basic marksmanship training.
2
New ShootersNot ideal as a first shooting experience — the class does not provide basic firearms instruction; new shooters should book a private lesson before the CCW class.
3
Budget-conscious ApplicantsPlan for the class fees plus additional mandatory sheriff’s department costs (fingerprinting, photos, background checks are separate and approximately $100).
4
Anyone with Dress-code ConcernsYou must follow range dress rules: no open-toed shoes and no low-cut shirts are allowed on the range.
