We get emails everyday about our schedule of NRA student and instructor course.

One of the most common questions we receive about NRA Instructor Ratings is:

What are the requirements for becoming an NRA Instructor?

Here is some information straight from the NRA website:

To qualify as an NRA Instructor:

  • Candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience. Instructor candidates must be intimately familiar with each action type in the discipline they wish to be certified.
  • Candidates will be required to demonstrate solid and safe firearms handling skills required to be successful during an instructor training course by completing pre-course questionnaires and qualification exercises administered by the NRA Appointed Training Counselor.
