Is there any time period between the completion of the training to the time that I apply for a license for CCW? Is there a deadline?

I think you may have 30 days, you may want to either contact your instructor or your sheriff. I know you have thirty days to pick up your license once it is done at the sheriff's office. You are given 7 days to take it to the license bureau once you pick it up from the sheriffs office.
I guess I should add, this is how it is in St. Louis City!
I do believe it is much longer, not sure, it is best tocheck with your or another instructor. You pick up the document from your Sheriff's office to take to the "license office" to pick up your endorsement. Also you have a choice of having this on your driver's permit (NOT A GOOD CHOICE) or on a "State I.D." (Better choice). Realteach here and on MSSA knows all of this stuff as do many other instructors.
As a matter of point, the CCW in Missouri is not a "license" it is an "endorsement". Some States of "CCL", conceal carry license.
I just looked thru my folder from getting my CCW, it says thirty days to pick up from the sheriffs office and seven days to take to license bureau.I am not sure the time limit on the certification, that you would need to ask your instructor. I have had mine going on 6 years now, so kind of hard to remember exactly what the time frame was or if it has changed since then. I know the day I got mine I went straight to the sheriffs office, received my notice to pick it up 13 days later, picked it up and went straight to the license bureau.
Does the training certificate ever expire? I have known people that have taken the course from an instructor then apply for their CCW permit a year later. Training certificate was accepted and permit issued.
Good question, I do not know the answer.
An instructor on www.missouricarry.org says they are good for ever.
At least for now, they are good indefinitely. Even certificates that were issued prior to August 2011 when the training requirements change that took place, have been "grandfathered" in as per 571.111.1(7) that took effect this August.
I'm still thinking about getting my Missouri CCW endorsement. I already have permits from Florida and Arizona, so I don't see the need at the current moment. I suppose my main reasons for avoiding the MO endorsement are: not sure if I will stay in MO after school, cost of training and permit fee, revolver shooting (don't own one and don't plan on ever carrying one), ridiculous ammo requirement, and it's only valid for 3 years but costs almost as much as a Florida 7-year permit. The positive is that it's valid almost everywhere and it's good to have a permit in your resident state.
