The NRA Instructor training courses are approved
by the National Rifle Association (NRA)
and conducted by Certified NRA Training Counselors
employed by Advantage Firearms Education
& Training. They provide instructor candidates with
the attitude, skills and knowledge needed to properly instruct beginning
students in the specific disciplines in which they are certified. Instructor
candidates completing these courses, and completing the required NRA
credentialing process, will achieve a solid foundation for instructing
the particular firearm disciplines in which they are certified. When certified
for teaching the basic pistol, rifle or shotgun disciplines, certified
instructors can also teach the First Steps courses for those disciplines
as well as BSA merit badges counseling and
teaching.
All NRA Instructor training
courses have the pre-requisite of the Basic
Instructor Training course. This course is a six (6) hour
classroom-only course, which covers the common firearms instruction techniques,
NRA policies and procedures,
and other information needed for all instructors to successfully teach
firearms training courses.
