Please make sure that you take the Basic Instructor Training (BIT) first!

This course teaches the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, promoting, and teaching NRA's Basic Shotgun Course.

Prerequisite: Possession of basic firearm safety and shooting skills is a perquisite for certification as an NRA instructor. Prior to the instructor training, candidates complete a pre-course questionnaire and demonstrate their firearm background in pre-course assessment exercises. Course is presented in two parts: Basic Instructor Training (BIT), and discipline specific instructor training. Students demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course, and complete an instructor certification examination. Students will receive the NRA Trainer's Guide, NRA Shotgun Instructor Candidate Packet, and NRA Basic Shotgun Shooting course student packet. Please note the requirements listed in the pre-course questionnaire/assessment document; it is suggested that students complete the Basic course prior to an Instructor class.

Students should bring a lunch, drinks, and snacks for the day.
