Federal Firearms Licensee Course
Get licensed with paperwork that's already filled out for you.
FFL Elite walks you from eligibility to approved license: training built around your state and county, the official ATF forms pre-filled from your profile, and interview prep so nothing about inspection day is a surprise.
Covers Type 01, 02, 07, 08 and C&R 03 applicants in all 50 states.
Everything the application actually requires
Most people stall on the parts nobody explains: local zoning, the CLEO copy, premises rules and the interview. Those are the parts this course is built around.
Guidance for your state & county
Set your address once. Zoning steps, your CLEO contact, county business licensing and state registration surface automatically — no generic checklists.
The real ATF forms, pre-filled
Form 7/7CR, Part B and the SOT paperwork are the actual ATF PDFs rendered on screen. Type on the form, then print or save a filled PDF.
Three-phase training course
Phase I pre-application, Phase II interview and regulations, Phase III post-approval operations — with audio narration and quizzes in every lesson.
Mock ATF interview
Rehearse the in-person IOI interview question by question and see what a strong answer covers before the investigator arrives.
SOT / Class 3 add-on
A separate advanced program covering what the SOT grants, how to file, and a click-by-click Pay.gov annual renewal walkthrough.
FFL AI Companion
A private, threaded AI assistant that knows your state, county, license type and progress — ask about forms, next steps, local requirements and renewal reminders.

It doesn't stop at approval
Staying licensed is the harder half. FFL Elite keeps you current on bound book and 4473 record-keeping, NICS checks, shipping rules, compliance inspections, and the three-year FFL renewal — plus the annual SOT renewal on Pay.gov, click by click.
Built by someone who holds the license
The guidance here mirrors the real process: what the investigator asks, what your county wants on file, and which forms have to match each other. No fluff, no reselling free PDFs.
