Description

Part I: NRA Basic Instructor Training is designed to develop individuals who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to conduct the NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses. It is the NRA class that helps people who already have subject matter expertise learn how to hold a class the NRA way so that their students earn recognized NRA certification.

This course teaches you the policies and procedures for becoming an NRA instructor as well as effective teaching methods for training students. Basic Instructor Training is a pre-requisite for all instructor level courses.

To be certified as an NRA Instructor, students must complete this 6-hour course that teaches material common to all NRA courses.
