Question 1

How do I find and book a CCW class near me?

Accepted Answer

Click "Find Classes" in the navigation menu. Enter your location or allow location access. Filter by date, price, or class type. Click on a class to see details, read instructor reviews, and click "Book Now" to reserve your spot.

Question 2

What information do I need to provide when booking?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to provide your full name, email, phone number, and payment information. Some classes may require additional information like date of birth or firearms experience level.

Question 3

How do I know if an instructor is qualified?

Accepted Answer

Instructors list their certifications and credentials on their profiles. CCW Hub is a booking platform and does not independently verify them, so review each instructor's listed credentials and read reviews from past students before you book.

Question 4

What happens after I book a class?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive an immediate confirmation email with class details, location, what to bring, and instructor contact information. You'll also receive reminder emails before your class date.

Question 5

Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?

Accepted Answer

Each instructor sets their own cancellation policy, which you'll see before booking. Depending on the policy and how far in advance you cancel, you may receive a full refund, partial refund, or no refund. Contact your instructor to request a reschedule.

Question 6

What should I bring to my CCW class?

Accepted Answer

Check your confirmation email for specific requirements. Typically you'll need: valid ID, eye protection, ear protection, your firearm (if required), ammunition (if not provided), and any prerequisite certificates.

Question 7

Will I receive a certificate after completing the class?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Upon successful completion, your instructor will issue a certificate of completion. You'll receive both digital and physical copies, which can be used for your concealed carry permit application.

Question 8

How do I leave a review for my instructor?

Accepted Answer

After your class is completed, you'll receive an email invitation to leave a review. You can also access your booking history, find the completed class, and click "Write Review." Your feedback helps other students make informed decisions.

Question 9

How do I get started as an instructor on CCW Hub?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a free account, complete your profile with credentials and certifications, add your first location, create your first class listing, and connect your Stripe account for payments. You can start accepting bookings immediately.

Question 10

What are the fees for instructors?

Accepted Answer

Students pay one all-in price per class, the platform service fee is already included, not a separate line item, and you keep your set class rate (minus standard payment processing). Your personal profile is free; Training Organizations choose a monthly plan (Starter, Growth, or Pro) to post classes and take bookings.

Question 11

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

After your class is completed, your earnings (your full class price minus standard Stripe processing fees) are automatically transferred to your connected bank account within 2 business days. You can track all payouts in your Earnings dashboard.

Question 12

Can I set my own prices and policies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You have complete control over your pricing, class sizes, cancellation policies, and availability. You run your business - we just provide the platform to help you reach more students.

Question 13

What happens when a student books my class?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive an instant email notification with the student's contact information and booking details. The student is charged immediately, and your payment is held securely until class completion. Both you and the student receive automatic reminders.

Question 14

How do I handle cancellations and refunds?

Accepted Answer

Students must follow your cancellation policy. If they cancel within the allowed timeframe, refunds are processed automatically. For special cases, you can manually issue full or partial refunds from the booking details page.

Question 15

How do I list my credentials?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings > Profile and upload photos or PDFs of your certifications (NRA, USCCA, state licenses, etc.). They appear on your public profile so students can see the credentials you hold before they book.

Question 16

Can I teach multiple types of classes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You can offer CCW/CPL classes, advanced tactical training, women-only courses, beginner handgun safety, and more. Each class can have its own pricing, schedule, and requirements.
