NRA Certified Instructor Courses
~ Share your love of the
shooting sports ~
As an Instructor, you can experience the personal satisfaction of teaching
others the basics -- the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will lead to
a lifetime of safe, enjoyable and successful involvement in firearm and
shooting activities. Instructors
provide an invaluable service in their communities by training hundreds of
thousands of individuals annually. As
firearm and shooting activities expand, and more Americans choose to
exercise their right to carry a firearm, so too grows the need for these
courses (and the Instructors to teach them).
Pre-qualification Required!
See bottom of page!
All applicants MUST PROVE they have the basic knowledge and experience in the specific field
of instruction to take these courses.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1871, a major objective of the National Rifle Association [NRA] has
been to provide Education & Training in the safe and proper use of firearms.
Today, that objective is being fulfilled through the NRA Basic Firearm
Instructor Training Program. There are currently four different disciplines
(ratings) currently offered by our NRA Certified Training Counselor at
Heritage Training Services.
They are:
- NRA Certified Home Firearms Safety Instructor
- NRA Certified Pistol Instructor
- NRA Certified Personal Protection Inside the Home Instructor
- NRA Certified Personal Protection Outside the Home (Concealed Carry Course) Instructor
- NRA Certified Rifle Instructor
- NRA Certified Shotgun Instructor
We also offer NRA Certified Range Safety Officer Courses.
FULFILLMENT:
As an NRA Certified Instructor, you can experience the personal satisfaction
of teaching others the basics -- the knowledge, skills and attitudes that
will lead to a lifetime of safe, enjoyable and successful involvement in
firearm and shooting activities.
The NRA is looking for new instructor candidates who enjoy working with
people, want to share their firearm knowledge and skills with others, and
are willing to make a commitment to teach NRA training courses in their
communities.
INSTRUCTOR RATINGS:
The categories of instructor ratings for each discipline available are:
- NRA Certified Instructor: 21 years of age or older
- NRA Assistant Instructor: 18 years of age or older
- NRA Apprentice Instructor: 13-17 years of age
QUALIFICATIONS:
To qualify as an NRA Certified Instructor, you must:
- Satisfactorily complete an NRA Instructor Training Course for the area of
specialization you wish to teach (e.g., NRA Basic Rifle Course), and receive
the endorsement of the NRA Training Counselor.
- Successfully complete the appropriate NRA Certified Instructor examination.
Certified -- 90% or higher, Assistant -- 85% or higher, and Apprentice --
85% or higher;
- Possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting
skills acquired through previous firearm training (such as completion of an
NRA Basic Firearm Training Course) and/or previous shooting experience [Any

the National Rifle Association is strongly recommended, but not required.
Certified Ratings are available to individuals who wish to be fully

Assistant Ratings are available to individuals who wish to assist certified
instructors in order to gain the knowledge and experience needed to become a
certified instructor.

apprentice instructor will be chosen by an NRA Certified Instructor from
select individuals. These individuals must be of the emotional maturity

and successfully completed an NRA Basic Firearm Training Course in their
chosen area of specialization (13 - 17 years of age).

standards established by NRA;
- Promoting firearm safety and the shooting sports;

additional knowledge, skills and techniques needed to organize and teach

Instructor training courses are conducted by our NRA Training Counselor.
Training Counselors are active and experienced instructors who have been
appointed by NRA to train other (new) instructors.
NRA CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR BENEFITS:
Once you receive your certificate (suitable for framing) from NRA, you will
receive your identification card. You will also receive a free subscription
of the NRA Shooting Education Update, a newsletter published periodically
for all NRA Trainers. Program information, training schedules, book
reviews, material updates and more are provided. Additionally, the Update
provides an open forum for the exchange of information and ideas on firearm
safety and marksmanship education.
You become an even more valuable resource for your community. NRA Certified
Instructors are leaders who provide a very important service. Because of
your dedication to the shooting sports, you are providing a chance for
others to enjoy the same benefits of firearm ownership that you have enjoyed
in the past.
