Before you pay anyone
A class only counts toward a lawful purchase if it meets every statutory requirement — sheriff-verified instructor, fully in person, the right hours, the statutory curriculum, a 90% exam, and your eligibility card in hand at enrollment. The full six-point checklist is on the main finder page, along with the red flags worth walking away from.
Cost note for Arapahoe County: Arapahoe publishes its eligibility-card processing fee: $100 for residents, $125 out-of-county, $50 with a concealed-handgun permit — on top of the $52 state fee. Tuition is separate and set by the instructor. Full county fee breakdown.
