This is a 16 hour course.
This 16-hour course teaches the knowledge, skills and attitude essential to organizing, promoting and teaching NRA’s Basic Rifle Shooting course.
Possession of basic firearm safety and shooting skills is a prerequisite for certification as an NRA instructor. Prior to the instructor training, candidates complete a pre-course questionnaire and demonstrate their firearm background in pre-course assessment exercises.
The course is presented in two parts: Basic Instructor Training, and discipline specific Instructor Training.
Students 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, NRA Rifle Shooting Instructor Candidate Packet and NRA Basic Rifle Shooting course student packet.
To qualify as an NRA Instructor, you must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training (such as completion of an NRA Basic Firearm Training Course) and/or previous shooting experience.

PLEASE NOTE: Certifications are issued by the NRA training department. Therefore you will pay tuition to USA Training Academy for the course and additional certification and processing fees payable to the NRA.

Course content:

Pistol Instructor Training consists of approximately 8 hours of classroom training and an additional 2 hours of training on the range.
A written test is administered at the end of the classroom day. A score of 90% or better on this exam is a requirement for Instructor certification.
Basic Instructor Training (BIT) will be held on the second day of training. This course is intended for all adults regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation. An NRA Certified Training Counselor will validate comprehension and application of gun safety rules; range protocol; proper handling; loading and unloading procedures; application of pistol shooting fundamentals; stable shooting positions; live fire; and final shooting qualification.
BIT takes approximately 7 hours. If this is your first Instructor credential, or if it has been more than 24 months since you have taken NRA Basic Instructor Training, you are required to take this course again.
Successfully complete the appropriate NRA student examination. You must achieve a 90% or higher to be certified as an Instructor. If you score between 85 - 90%, then you can be certified as an Assistant/Apprentice.
Satisfactorily complete an NRA Instructor Training Course for Pistol Shooting, and receive the endorsement of the NRA Training Counselor conducting your training.
Submit your application with the appropriate certification fee. Membership in the National Rifle Association is strongly recommended. Certified Ratings are available to individuals who wish to be fully qualified to conduct basic courses (21 years of age or older).
