The Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association (NVSCA) establishes the minimum training
standards required for the issue and renewal of carry concealed handgun permits (CCW) and
the minimum standards required to become an instructor for concealed handgun permits
Authority for the NVSCA to establish these standards is provided in Nevada Revised Statute
202.3657

 

The following standards are the minimum required for the course of instruction which must be
obtained prior to an individual applying for a CCW permit, or prior to the renewal of a permit.
Please review these standards thoroughly to ensure your complete understanding. The
requirements are defined under the headings of Resident, Non-Resident, Instructor
Qualification, and Instructor Disqualification.
All of these standards are a minimum requirement; nothing precludes an instructor from
providing additional training.

 

Written Examination

The written examination attached will serve to demonstrate basic knowledge of the required
subjects. The test requires a minimum of 70% to pass, and will be indicated on the certificate as
“Pass/Fail” only. In the event the student has a learning disability the test can be administered
as an oral examination, with the same scoring requirements.

fired. Firearms with less than a 5 shot capacity will have to be reloaded at each stage to comply
with the 5 shot capacity standards. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass, and shall be
