NRA Basic Instructor
Training (BIT) Course

NRA Basic Instructor Training is designed to develop NRA Certified Instructors who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to conduct the NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses. It is the NRA class that helps people who already have subject matter expertise learn how to hold a class the NRA way so that their students earn recognized NRA certification.

This course teaches you the policies and procedures for becoming an NRA instructor as well as effective teaching methods for training students. Basic Instructor Training is a prerequisite for all instructor level courses.

All participants who do not already have a NRA Instructor rating are required to take this course before they take our NRA Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol Instructor, or Muzzleloading course

To be certified as an NRA Instructor, students must complete this 6-hour course that teaches material common to all NRA courses. This course does not certify the instructor candidate to teach any NRA courses. Additional discipline-specific instructor training is required to certify instructor candidates to teach specific courses. By itself this class does not get you any certifications. You must take the appropriate instructor class (Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, Muzzleloading) after and within 2 years of taking this class.

NRA Shotgun Instructor Training

The NRA Shotgun Instructor Training class is designed to develop NRA Certified Instructors who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to conduct the NRA Basic Shotgun Shooting Course. NRA Shotgun Instructor Training begins with the NRA Basic Shotgun Shooting class, which must be completed first. Both classes together form the required course for NRA Shotgun Instructor certification. While we do teach the basic class, the students should have some experience with shotgun shooting. The class is not designed to take someone with no shooting experience and turn them into a qualified instructor for that type of firearm.
