Become an instructor and help promote firearm safety to, law abiding, American people. This can be a great investment to start a new business or simply a new hobby that generates supplemental income. We offer instructor-level courses in various disciplines, which can be seen below. All class times below do not reflect the 6-hours of BIT (basic instructor training). BIT is required for all new instructor candidates/Chief Range Safety Officer candidates, and those current instructors who have not taken BIT within the last 2-years of their last certified instructor discipline or BIT. For all new instructor candidates and those current instructors who require BIT, the class will be divided into 2 days. All instructor-level courses have a 4-person minimum per NRA policy.
