The piece of a firearms training course that can't be performed online is the live fire shooting and/or qualification.
The great thing about an online course is that you can start and stop at anytime! If you start the Online Permit To Carry - Concealed Carry Class before dinner, you can take a break and pick it up after dinner or the next day.
Once the
Online Permit To Carry - Concealed Carry Class is finished you can schedule an in person shooting qualification.
Minnesota does not have a specific shooting qualification, but does require that an "actual shooting qualification" be performed.
