NRA Certification Courses

NRA Certification courses will certify you in the discipline offered. During the course candidates will learn NRA policies and procedures; basic public speaking skills; training methodology; use of a training team and training aids; organizing a course, building a budget; and finally preparing to teach. Candidates will be provided the appropriate lesson plans and basic course student packets. Role-playing is a major part of an instructor course with candidates taking turns working in teams, actually conducting portions of the course to other candidates who portray basic students.

Makhaira Group Instructor training courses are conducted by Senior Lead Instructor Kaylyn Duvall / NRA Training Counselor. Training Counselors are active and experienced instructors who have been certified by NRA to train experienced shooters to teach others to shoot. Training Counselors will evaluate candidates’ performance based on their ability to handle the firearms with confidence, use of appropriate training aids, following the lesson plans, and meeting all learning objectives while utilizing the teaching philosophies expected of NRA Certified Instructors. Candidates can also expect to learn the NRA discipline-specific instructional methods and evaluating and improving the performance of beginning shooters.
