About this event

The Webinar Series

Many people enjoy the limelight of being a lead firearms instructor, teaching at the front of a classroom and giving commands on the firing line. Equally important but less often recognized is the role of the assistant instructor. Being an effective assistant trainer requires more than just standing behind a row of shooters or loitering in the back of the classroom. How do you handle a nervous student? Or a student who doesn’t follow directions? Or one who is unsafe, chatty, inattentive, physically compromised, or just plain terrified? What is the assistant instructor’s role, and how is it different from the lead instructor, or the range safety officer, or the one-on-one coach?

In this three-part webinar series, the CSA crew explores some useful tips, skills, and best practices that elevate the A.I. from just another person hanging around to an indispensable part of the training team. CSA’s Assistant Instructor training is specifically tailored to sharpen those skills that are unique to optimizing the A.I.’s role in the classroom and on the range, especially for new shooters and introductory to mid-level classes. The A.I.’s ultimate goals are (1) making the lead trainer’s job easier and (2) making the students feel safe, comfortable, and welcome (all of which facilitates learning and retention).

Register for one, two, or all three webinars to learn best practices for assistant instructors both in the classroom and on the firing range. Kudos to Tim Reedy of TDR Training for hosting these virtual events!

Busy on the day of the webinar? No worries! Each webinar will be recorded, and the recordings will be made available to all paid registrants until Tuesday night, February 14, 2023.

Who's Teaching?

Each webinar will be taught by Aqil Qadir and Tiffany Johnson of Citizens Safety Academy. Aqil is a former law enforcement officer with over 40 years of experience in firearms training. He founded CSA almost ten years ago and has been teaching thousands of private citizens a year ever since. Aq is an NRA Training Counselor and a USCCA instructor, as well as a Rangemaster-certified handgun and shotgun instructor (Master level). He also works as a federal security contractor, training armed professionals throughout the southeastern United States.

Tiffany is a “late bloomer” who underwent a 180-degree-conversion in the world of firearms. She grew up fearing guns but got hooked on firearms training after reluctantly enrolling in a Rangemaster handgun safety course. Tiffany is a Rangemaster-certified handgun and shotgun instructor (Master level), a USCCA Training Counselor, an NRA Training Counselor, a former university professor, and a practicing attorney.
