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.

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.

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

One Hell Of A Day For The Price = Priceless
Well the First thing I admire was the great warm GREETING earlier in the morning from "Susan" who became accommodating through the Training and the Second thing that I loved about the Whole Training is how well all of the questions got answered no matter how little, how difficult or how repetitive it was "Joe" & "Matt" were spot on with trying to answer all at the best of their knowledge & ability... Seeing that neither one of them were Attorneys which was mentioned throughout class (LOL). The classroom portion was INFORMATIVE, DETAILED, DUMPED/slowed down that it made you worried how Ignorant you been to Laws & Rules that surrounded: Ownership, Carrying, Storge of a Firearm(s)....plus Protecting your self & love ones.
The Thrid thing is the Gun Range portion of the Class was fun cause one you are told the PROPER way to: Hold, Shoot, Aim the Firearm while getting shots on traget ober & over again makes you feel a sense of proud and self worth....So in closing i Recommend EVERYONE who's anyone take this Class/Training you will not be disappointed promise.
I tell you what if I could I would keep taking any class this Coalition recommend with these two/three in it "Thanks Again Susan, Matt &Joe" enjoyed the Whole day

Kyle was absolutely amazing and made it very clear and easy for understand. He was real and relatable and honest. After taking this class he hosted I have absolutely no doubt that I’m ready for the world of firearms and I feel confident and educated. Not only is he knowledgeable but he is a real human with caring approach.

Concealed Weapon Training
The team John and Larry were outstanding. Their knowledge regarding Texas laws/codes for concealed carry is phenomenal. The emphasis on safety and being responsible was in point, as well as interaction with the class during Q & A as well as safety and guidance at the firing range. Truly dedicated instructors and definitely there to provide the best training experience ever! Thank you!
