1. NRA Basic Pistol - Instructor Led training during this class you will attempt to qualify.
2. Basic Instructor Training (BIT)
3. Discipline training - ( a minimum of 4 people are required for this class)
Qualification is completed prior to #2 and #3. BIT and Discipline are usually given on a weekend.
NRA Instructor courses are discipline-specific (pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc.). During the course, candidates will learn NRA policies and procedures; basic public speaking skills; training methodology; use of a training team and training aids; organizing a course and finally preparing to teach. In addition, candidates will be provided with the appropriate lesson plans and basic course student packets. Role-playing is a major part of an instructor's course; therefore, the minimum class size should be at least four candidates. Candidates take turns presenting portions of the course to other candidates who portray students.
Instructor training courses are conducted by NRA Training Counselors. Training Counselors are active and experienced instructors who have been certified by NRA to train. Training Counselors will evaluate candidates' performance based on their ability to handle the firearms with confidence, use appropriate training aids, follow the lesson plans, and meet all learning objectives while utilizing the teaching philosophies expected of NRA Certified Instructors. Candidates can also expect to learn the NRA discipline-specific instructional methods and evaluating and improve the performance of beginning shooters.
