Michigan CPL terminology
Michigan’s official term is Concealed Pistol License, or CPL. CCW is common shorthand, but it is not the license name used in Michigan state materials. A class is only one part of an application and does not itself issue a license or replace county-clerk processing, fees, fingerprints, or eligibility review.

Training is not the permit
