This course teaches the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, promoting, and teaching the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting course. It is presented in two parts: basic instructor training and discipline specific instructor training. Students learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course, and complete an instructor certification examination. Students will receive the NRA Trainer’s Guide and an NRA Basics Of Pistol Shooting Instructor Candidate Packet.
Prerequisites: Instructor candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience. Prior to the course, candidates complete a pre-course questionnaire and demonstrate their firearm background in pre-course assessment exercises.
Instructor candidates must be able to prove they've completed the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course. Citizens Safety Academy will be conducting the NRA Basic Pistol Course the day before this course starts.
We'll send an email to all students within a week of class with more details on what to bring and what to expect.
We are mindful of the current ammunition shortage. We will do our very best to be conservative with ammo consumption throughout this course. The round count in the equipment list is a generous estimate, and we hope to avoid having to use all of it.
