| Course Description |
 Thank you for your interest in the NRA Instructor Training Program. The goal of this program is to develop
instructors to teach NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses according to the lesson plans and training standards
of the National Rifle Association. This Program is not designed to prepare you to teach other firearm training
courses (such as law enforcement, security, or hunter safety courses), nor to prepare you to develop firearm
training courses of your own.
The NRA Instructor Training Course is designed to teach you how to teach others to shoot using NRA lesson
plans and training methods. The course is not designed to improve your shooting skills. Possession of basic
firearm safety and shooting skills is a prerequisite for certification as an NRA Instructor.
You will be
asked to demonstrate your firearm background through participation in pre-course assessment exercises. Prior to the start of the class, you will be contacted by one of our Training Counselors and a date will be setup for your pre-course assessment/interview.
A complete NRA Instructor Training Course consists of two parts. The first is Basic Instructor Training, which
takes place on Day #1. The second part is discipline-specific instructor training (in this case, Basic Pistol), which consists of 2 additional days of training (Day 2 & 3)
At the beginning of the NRA Instructor Training Course, you will receive from your
training counselor the NRA Instructor's Guide, the NRA Basic Pistol
Course Outlines and Lesson Plans, the NRA Basic Pistol student handbook, and other materials used in NRA basic courses. You will be required to bring a 3 inch heavy duty three-ring binder.
The NRA Training Counselor who conducts your course will make a recommendation to NRA Training
Department concerning your certification based on an evaluation of your knowledge, skill, and attitude. You
will be asked to demonstrate your organizational and teaching skills through participation in several practical
exercises during the course of your training. You will also be asked to complete an instructor certification
examination. A minimum score of 90 percent is required for certified instructor applicants (85 percent for
assistant and apprentice instructor applicants).
Attendance at the course and a passing grade on the examination does not guarantee that you will receive the
recommendation of the NRA Training Counselor. It is the Training Counselor's DUTY in the total evaluation
process to see that you not only possess the knowledge and skill, but that you also have the proper ATTITUDE
to be an NRA Certified Instructor.
Instructor certification involves a commitment to conduct NRA Basic Firearm Training courses on an annual
basis in each discipline group (in this case, Basic Pistol) in which you hold instructor ratings.
NRA instructor ratings are valid for one year. Renewal of your certification will be contingent upon your annual
activity in conducting NRA Basic Firearm Training courses, and your participation in periodic recertification
activities.
