NRA Pistol Instructor Certification (with BIT)

NRA Instructor courses include the NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT) course and will certify you as an NRA instructor 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.
