​​NRA Instructor Classes!


Do you have the knowledge, skills and attitude to become an NRA Instructor? All instructor classes take two days and require a person to be knowledgeable and proficient in firearm safety, shooting and gun handling. Becoming an NRA instructor allows you to teach any basic class that you are an instructor in.

It also allows you to qualify others for a pistol permit or concealed carry depending on the specific states requirement.

We can make you an instructor in any of the basic classes listed on our Beginner Training page.  Email us and let us know what you are interested in and we will set up a course in our schedule.
