Firearms Instructor Development Course
Firearms Instructor Development Course
This course is designed for currently licensed firearms instructors who are ready to elevate their instructional skills beyond the fundamentals and the culture we have become indoctrinated with. Becoming an effective firearms instructor does not happen overnight, does not come naturally to everyone, and requires deliberate practice and experience. Every instructor starts somewhere—often teaching one or two students at a time.
If you are prepared to learn how to confidently manage group classes of eight or more students, this course provides the essential skills needed to effectively lead, control, and grow larger training environments. Firearms instruction is not typically a full-time occupation, and only a small number of instructors teach full time. Whether you instruct on a part-time or full-time basis, this course is designed to reignite the passion that originally inspired you to teach.
Firearms instructors serve as gatekeepers of responsible firearms use, ensuring safe training practices, maintaining standards, and reinforcing foundational basic skills. This course offers rare insight into the realities of dynamic, real-world firearms instruction—an experience few instructors ever encounter. In just eight hours, you will identify common pitfalls that challenge both instructors and students and learn how to avoid them.
This is a course you owe yourself! Ask yourself: When was the last time you were a student? If it has been six months or more, it is time to return to the fundamentals, reset your perspective, and reconnect with what it means to learn from the student’s seat.
Remember, it’s not about us, it’s about our students! Maintain the Standards and Stick to the Basics.
