Want to be a firearm instructor?

If you enjoy working with people and want to share your firearm knowledge and skills with others, you might want to look into becoming an NRA Certified Instructor.

NRA Certified Instructors train hundreds of thousands of individuals each year in the safe and proper use of firearms. If you are interested in providing this valuable public service, you can become an NRA instructor and conduct various NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses in your community.

The NRA courses that you can elect to teach include pistol, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloading firearms (pistol, rifle, and shotgun), personal protection, reloading (metallic cartridge and shotgun shell), range safety, and home firearm safety.

You can also choose to conduct First Steps orientation courses, which are special three-hour orientation classes designed to introduce new shooters to particular firearm models.

You will receive your specialized instructor training for each course directly from NRA Training Counselors. These counselors are active and experienced trainers who have been appointed by the NRA to teach and develop new certified instructors.
