NRA CCW Instructor Class

Bayprofs has been committed to safe, quality firearms training for more than 25 years. We estimate  that during that time we have trained more than two thousand people.As a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation our focus is providing excellent training and not financial gain. Instructors are un-paid volunteers who are NRA certified instructors with extensive, personal experience including teaching shooting, training and/or competition.  It’s one way we give back to the community.We limit class size to assure individual attention. With four or more instructors in each class we can achieve a student-to-instructor ratio of better than 2 to 1. In each class our students will have the benefit of instructors having an aggregate of around 100 or more years of experience with firearms.

Bayprofs - Bay Area Professionals for Firearm Safety and Training

Richmond Rod & Gun Club

The goal of this program is to develop instructors to teach NRA Firearm Training Courses according to the lesson plans and training standards of the National Rifle Association. This program is not designed to prepare you to teach other firearm training courses (such as law enforcement, security, or hunter safety courses), nor to prepare you to develop firearm training courses of your own.This is one of the most challenging of the NRA instructor classes. Each part will have a scored qualification in order to make it into the next day. Safe use of a firearm from concealment will be tested under time pressure, including both marksmanship and handling (reloading/malfunction drills). You need to be relatively fluent in the use of your firearm in order to be successful in this course. This is not an entry-level class. This course is only open to those individuals that are already an instructor in good standing holding the rating of NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting Instructor. Proof of this will be required prior to class. Day 1 of this class will be in a classroom at Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol Club. Days 2-4 of this course will be at an outdoor private range bay at Richmond Rod and Gun Club. Days 2-4 will be 100% outdoor. There is a shaded area, but be ready for whatever the weather decides to do in early February. A complete NRA Instructor Training Course consists of three parts. The first is the basic class, which is required so that all instructor candidates have seen the class at least once before certifying to teach it. The second is basic instructor training, which consists of 6 hours of instruction on how to run the backend of firearms classes. The third part is discipline-specific instructor training, which for NRA CCW is an additional 16-20 hours of training. These three parts are held over 4 days. During the NRA Instructor Training Course, you will receive from your Training Counselor the NRA Trainer’s Guide, the appropriate NRA Instructor Candidate Packet which includes the course outlines and lesson plans for the disciplines you wish to teach, the appropriate NRA basic course student packet which includes the handbook, certificates, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure and other materials used in NRA basic courses.The NRA Training Counselor who conducts your course will make a recommendation to NRA concerning your certification based on an evaluation of your knowledge, skills, and attitude. You will be asked to demonstrate your organizational and teaching skills through participation in several practical exercises during the course of your training. You will also be asked to complete an instructor certification examination. A minimum score of 90 percent is required for certified instructor applicants (85 percent for assistant and apprentice instructor applicants). However, attendance at the course, or a passing grade on the examination, does not guarantee that you will receive the recommendation of the NRA Training Counselor.Note this class is in multiple locations!Day 1: Saturday 5th Starting at 10am - Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol Club, 1601 Coyote Point Drive San Mateo, CA 94401-1002Basic Instructor Training: This day covers how to run a class from a financial, legal, and ethical standpoint, NRA Policies and Procedures, and the handling portion of the evaluation.
