NRA Instructor Training
This course is taught by a NRA Training Counselor, the NRA Instructor Training Course consists of two parts. Part I is the Basic Instructor Training (BIT) (6 hours), Part II is the NRA discipline-specific instructor training (5-14 hours). Prior to conducting an NRA Instructor Training Course, the Training Counselor must have instructor candidates complete the pre-course questionnaire and the pre-course firearm qualification (shooting and handling exercises) must be conducted prior to or during the course. Only those candidates who achieve satisfactory scores in the pre-course qualification and who meet other specified requirements for NRA Instructors are eligible for certification. As a prerequisite the candidates must attend an 8-hour NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting Course led by an NRA Pistol Instructor before attending an NRA Pistol Instructor Course. During the Instructor Course a score of 90% or higher on the BIT test, and the specified discipline instructor test is required to become a Certified Instructor (age 21 and older). Check on the requirements for the Assistant Instructor (age 18 and older) and Apprentice Instructor (age 13-17) ratings from a certified Training Counselor.
