Why would I want or need the Utah license if I get the Illinois License
This all falls upon the licensee and their wants or needs. Most people who live in the Southern Illinois area travel out of Illinois at sometime. The Utah permit allows an Illinois resident to carry in 30+ states. Click HERE for a map of states that honor the Utah License.
What is the cost of an Illinois Class
The Illinois Class is offered three ways:

  • A full 16 hour course is $150
  • Utah Upgrade for $50
  • Other Discounts May be Offered
What is the cost of a Utah CCW Class
Utah CCW Class is now offered along with Illinois for a $50 upgrade
Do you offer a 12 hour IL class
***Update as of November 2015***
BTBPD has updated the IL class and require all students to attend the full 16hrs. We now offer the Utah upgrade along with the IL class. After this 16hr class with the Utah upgrade you will be able to apply for permits in Illinois, Utah, and Florida. With this offering we have restructured our pricing of $150/person for Illinois with a $50 charge for the Utah upgrade.

Yes and No.  We are not teaching a 12 hour only course.  However we understand that many people will have a 4 hour training credit and will only need 12 hours of additional training.  We are offering $25 discount for the 4 hour training credit, but would like our student to attend the full 16 hour class.  The state has only approved 16 hour and 8 hour curriculums and feel it is best for students to receive all the information available in the 16 hour course

Which class do I need/How many hours of training do I need
ISP has posted a list of approved courses that they will honor for approved prior training. They are giving 4 hour credits and 8 hour credits. The total amount allowed is 8 hours of total credit.

    *** BTBPD requires all students to attend the full 16hr class***

  • You have no approved prior class = 16 hour course needed
  • You have an 8 hour credit = 8 hour course needed
  • You have a 4 hour credit = 16 hour course needed (discounted price)
  • You have two separate 4 hour credits = 8 hour course needed (Example-Utah Permit and IDNR Hunters Safety Course)
  • You have an 8 hour credit and a 4 hour credit = 8 hour course needed (Example-Prior Military and IDNR Hunter Safety)
