NRA Instructor Pistol Shooting Course - 3/24 - 3/26 Space Available

[Sundazes]

Is there still an online portion you can do for the basic pistol? I am asking because of time constraints.
I have RSO and Rifle. I want to get pistol and will need BIT again

"Candidates must attend the basic course prior to attending the instructor course for any discipline they wish to obtain. For the NRA pistol certification, candidates must take the Basics of Pistol Shooting Instructor Led Training (ILT) prior to attending the instructor training. "

Thanks

Watching this thread, I'm interested in taking this class if it's offered again in the future.

 

[euler357]

If anyone wants to be "on the list" for future classes then email Dwight. We schedule them when we have enough people to do it. No commitment to be on the waiting list. We do most of the NRA student and instructor classes.

@euler357 would you post here when the classes have reached capacity to run?

 

[euler357]

I typically do post them but we don't schedule them till we have enough for the minimum class. If nobody commits to wanting a class then we don't schedule it...

I meant specifically the ones being offered in this thread for March 24 to 26

 

[euler357]

Right now, we have enough to run the class (if there are no cancellations).

Come on folks let's get some more on the roster

Help these good folks out to get some business. This is a HELL of a price for these three classes combined.

I don't really have a dog in this fight but euler (and another TC) are offering a pretty darn good deal. I know what I have invested in accumulating these and other ratings and this class arrangement is a bargain, not to mention a logistical cakewalk. Not having to find a class to take, then find another place to take the instructor course would have appealed to me.

To those on the fence, I would suggest getting the instructor rating, even if you never teach the class. Not only does it get you out of the PITA of w&c renewal class, but you can jump in and help other instructors when they have larger classes. As an example, MSI sponsored a women on target event and I went to help the TC who led it. I doubt the TC made anything and the staff of instructors were all volunteers to my knowledge.

Could someone who has the Instructor Certification explain what is required for renewals ?

Your NRA Basic Pistol Instructor certification is required to be current.

@euler357 Does the older NRA Basic Pistol Course fulfill the student course prerequisite? I think it is essentially the same course, but it looks like they've changed the name slightly, and are now calling it the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course.

"For the NRA pistol certification, candidates must take the Basics of Pistol Shooting Instructor Led Training (ILT) prior to attending the instructor training. "

As long as you can produce a certificate for an NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting (not online/hybrid), I believe it's fine. All of the pre-hybrid courses were instructor led.

 

[Bertfish]

If there is doubt then just do it again folks. This is a hell of a bargain for the classwork based on the research I've done

 

[Biggfoot44]

So even NRA Training Division is admitting their online/ hybrid courses are substandard ?

Okay, thanks. Yes, the pre-hybrid Basic Pistol Course was instructor led.

It is a bargain. The potential issue for me is more one of scheduling.

I have volunteered for numerous WoT classes. They are a lot of fun. The ladies are great to work with.

@euler357 I def want to get the pistol instructor cert too. The scheduling killed this time for me. If you guys offer it again at this price, I am in.
