Preserve Academy LE Pistol Instructor / NRA Certified Pistol Instructor Course

This course is designed for active law enforcement officers who intend on training and/or qualifying their officers. The Preserve Academy LE Pistol Instructor Course will teach instructors skills directly related to the law enforcement profession. The NRA Certified Pistol Instructor Course will teach instructors the NRA curriculum and meet the requirements of RIGL 11-47-16.

Potential instructors should be proficient with shooting, firearms safety, and firearm skills related to the law enforcement profession. Attendance at this course does not guarantee successful completion and there is both a qualification for the Preserve Academy LE Pistol Instructor and NRA Certified Pistol Instructor Course. Please note: this is not a course that teaches shooting, it is a course that teaches instructing.

Upon successful completion of these courses and qualifications, the student will receive both a Preserve Academy LE Pistol Instructor Certification and an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor Certification.

To obtain your NRA Pistol Instructor Certification, there is a $60 fee for a 2-year instructor certification paid directly to the NRA. For renewals, the fee is $60 for an additional 2 years. For NRA members, the fee is $35 for a 2-year instructor certification and $35 for subsequent 2-year certification renewals.
