Utah CFP Safety Training

The Utah Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) Safety Training course is approximately 4 hours and is conducted by the certified instructors at Defensive Firearms Instruction. Successful completion of the course provides you with the certificate required to apply for your Utah CFP.

By Utah law if you want to carry a firearm concealed upon your person, or concealed and readily accessible within a vehicle, you must have a Utah CPF issued by Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI). You must be at least 21 years of age, have proof of good character – including, but not limited to: No felony convictions, misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, or active restraining orders, and demonstrate competence with a handgun. The Utah CFP Safety Training meets the required educational requirements set by Utah (BCI) .
