Am I required to send the CHL-90 prior to being assigned a class? I've downloaded and reviewed it and appears that the majority is not applicable due to never having taught before. Are they still sending a formal application in addition to the online one? Affidavits, print and sign and send in or are they the same as the "check boxes" on the online app? Any other valuable info would be helpful and very much appreciated.

If you filled out the online application and completed the fingerprints you just have to wait to hear back from the state. If they need any additional information from you they will usually notify you in the mail. It doesn't matter if you don't have any prior firearm teaching experience they ask that only in order to determine if you qualify for the 28hour course vs. the 36 hour course.

You can always check the status of your application online (which usually doesn't tell you very much) or you can always call them and wait on hold for 30-45 min to talk to someone.

They will send you notification of which class you will be in and what the location of the class, the requirements, dress code, range rules and what ammo that they allow you to bring.

Hope that helps.

They also take your photo. Then go take the class and submit the paperwork from the class. Your instructor should know exactly what you need to send in. To find a class Google "CHL class" and the name of your city.
