Basic Instructor Training is required within 2 years prior to your course date—and it's included at no additional charge. All prices cover:
Classroom + Range Time. Most courses combine classroom instruction with live-fire range work. For example, Personal Protection courses have students shoot approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. Rifle training includes shooting from bench rest, prone, sitting, standing, and kneeling positions.
Legal Instruction Covered. Lessons on firearms and self-defense law are taught by licensed attorneys or law enforcement officers with appropriate POST certification—not just any instructor.
Prerequisite note: Some courses like Personal Protection require prior NRA certification (Basic Pistol, FIRST Steps) or equivalent proof of shooting competency.
