Have a friend who posted a picture of her certificate of completion of this course and claims she has her CHL. Is that correct? I didn't do a course for my CHL and don't know what has changed since then.
Probably not a real license to carry... My instructor strongly discouraged taking pictures of your targets as they could potentially be used against you in court.
There is both a proficiency and written test. Once complete you are issued a certificate of completion. The certificate is submitted with your other information to start your background check.
