Expectations and Outcomes
To successfully complete the Discipline-related Instructor-level curriculum, the candidate must demonstrate the ability to teach from the discipline-related NRA Lesson Plan using NRA methods. Candidates will be assigned lessons out of the discipline-related Lesson Plans, and asked to teach to the Staff and to the other Candidates. Candidates will need to incorporate teaching principals, teaching methods, training aids, and Total Participant Involvement. Among the items on which candidates will be evaluated are: their ability to follow the NRA lesson plans, ability to instruct on the range, handling of guns using the safe NRA method, marksmanship skills, knowledge of the material, and most importantly - proper ATTITUDE and whole-hearted support of the NRA firearms training program.
A written test is conducted for the NRA Discipline-related training: to pass, the Candidate shall obtain a minimum of 90%, or 85% for Assistant or Apprentice Instructor Candidates.
This is a performance based course meaning that your payment and participation does not guarantee that you will "pass" the training. Your tuition provides you the opportunity to become an NRA Certified Instructor in a Discipline. If a candidate should fail the qualification or evaluation, the candidate may be invited to re-attend an NRA Instructor-level class in the Discipline to be re-evaluated at the discretion of the staff, the scheduling of which would be determined by the Training Counselor.
