NRA Certified Firearm Instructor Training - March 6th - March 9th, 2015
Do you have the knowledge and expertise to be an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor? Do you want to help your fellow citizens learn more about the fields of Firearm Safety and Personal Protection?
Rick's Firearm Academy of Detroit is announcing National Rifle Association (NRA) Certified Firearm Instructor Training Classes.
NRA Instructor Training Courses teach candidates how to teach firearm safety and shooting skills to others using the NRA instructional methodologies and training materials. The possession of basic shooting skills is a prerequisite for attending an instructor training class.
Instructor Candidates who successfully complete this program's requirements will then be certified as NRA Instructors. Accordingly, they would then be able to arrange and conduct both the NRA Basic Pistol Class and the NRA Personal Protection in the Home (CPL) Class.
All admitted Instructor Candidates will be in training for the following time periods:
1. Basic Instructor Training (BIT): 6 hours
2. Basic Pistol/PPITH: 25 hours
Total minimum classroom time for this program will be 31 hours. These 31 hours do not include the time needed to complete Pre-Program Requirements. The training will be conducted over a three (3) day period over a single weekend. The hours will be long.
Space in this training program will be extremely limited. NRA Education and Training Dept. Guidelines specify that an Instructor Class "should" have at least four (4) Candidates. If you wish to be admitted, you should not delay getting enrolled into the program. This program's enrollment can be halted at any time there are at least four people officially admitted into the program.
Pre-Program Requirements
1. Complete and Submit a Pre-Course Questionaire.
2. Successfully Demonstrate Safe Gun Handling.
3. Successfully Demonstrate Acceptable Shooting Skills.
4. Successfully Demonstrate Acceptable Firearm Safety.
5. Be able to legally possess firearms.
Note: Candidates may be given examinations to assess and test their knowledge. Candidates who do not meet the Pre-Program Requirements may be required to enroll in a basic student level course to improve their knowledge and skills to improve their chances of being admitted into the program at a later date.
Candidates may be charged a nominal Evaluation Fee to cover my time needed to proctor any Pre-Assessment Examinations and Shooting Evaluations. This fee is separate from any accrued range fees (e.g. Handgun Rental, Range Time, Ammo Cost, and etc.) Candidate will be assessed at a firing range. The Evaluation Fee has not yet been set but will be disclosed prior to the setting of appointments.
In theory, a Candidate might not be immediately eligible to enroll into the Instructor Program and may take a suggested basic class to build their skills and knowledge in time to take this program, subject to space and availability. Otherwise, Candidate would have to wait until the next scheduled program.

- Certified: 90 percent or higher
- Assistant: 85 percent or higher
- Apprentice: 85 percent or higher
Only NRA Certified Instructors are qualified to organize and conduct NRA classes.
