 HDTS SAFETY - THE One Stop CCW Center  

What Sets HDTS Apart from Other CCW Instructors

At High Desert Training Services, we do more than check boxes — we build confident, capable, and safe gun owners. Here’s what makes us different:

• Three Experienced Instructors with Medical Backgrounds
  Every HDTS instructor brings real-world emergency and safety expertise, ensuring your training goes far beyond marksmanship. One instructor is not only a Paramedic/Firefighter, but also Tactical Combat Casualty Care certified. Another instructor was a medic in the Army/Marines. Our team truly is where "Med meets Tac."
• Two Instructors at Every Range Session
  We prioritize your safety and learning experience — every live-fire course will include a certified instructor overseeing all drills and qualifications. and a Range Safety Officer. 
• Certified Range Safety Officers (RSOs)
  Every instructor at HDTS is also an RSO, maintaining the highest standards of firearm safety and control during all range activities.
• The HDTS One Stop Shop Experience
  We handle the entire process — from training and qualification to application assistance, ammo, and CPR/First Aid — all in one visit.
• Ammo Included & Replacement Options
  Need ammo for range day or a fresh box to take home? We’ve got you covered with convenient on-site options.
• Integrated CPR & First Aid Training
  Our classes include essential medical response education — and you can choose to add official certification right through HDTS.
• Application Assistance from Start to Finish
  We help you navigate the entire CCW process, including guidance on forms, documentation, and PD or County submission.
• Confidence You Can Carry
  Our mission is simple — to ensure every student leaves not just certified, but prepared to confidently respond  in real-life situations.

Getting your CCW shouldn’t be complicated — and with HDTS Safety, we work hard so it isn't. Our goal is to provide a "One Stop CCW Center" where we streamline the entire process so you can complete everything in one place. From state-approved CCW training and live-fire qualification to application assistance, ammunition, and CPR/First Aid certification, HDTS makes it easy, fast, and professional. Whether you’re applying through the Ridgecrest Police Department or Kern County Sheriff’s Office, we’ll help you prepare every document and requirement needed for submission.

If you think streamlined, you think HDTS — where training, paperwork, and preparedness all come together in one visit.
