This is a two day class that covers Basic Instructor Training (BIT) on day one and NRA Pistol Instructor Training on day two.

Here is your chance to be an NRA Instructor! With completion of this class, you may conduct a NRA Basic Pistol Class meeting the requirements of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida concealed carry permits. You can also qualify others for Rhode Island pistol permit qualifications.  Finally, you can teach firearm safety and shooting skills to earn extra money or build your resume to get that permit to carry!

Students should have a 9mm or higher caliber pistol, 100 rounds, eye and ear protection and previous shooting experience.

Students also need to have completed the NRA Basic Pistol Course online or in person. Email with any questions.
