How to Apply
 The NRA Rifle Instructor Training course is
designed to develop NRA Certified Instructors who possess the
knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to conduct the NRA
Basic Rifle Shooting Course.
NRA Rifle Instructor Training begins with the
NRA Basic
Instructor Training class, which must be completed first. Both classes
together form the required course for NRA Rifle Instructor certification.
(You are not considered an NRA Certified Instructor until the NRA Training
Department processes your application and issues your instructor credentials.)
 Did
you know that NRA
Rifle Instructor certification is a requirement
for becoming a Boy Scouts of America Rifle Merit Badge
Counselor? The Boy Scouts of America decides all matters
relating to Rifle Merit Badge Counselors.
Prerequisites
 To
enroll in the NRA Rifle Instructor Training
class you must:
- complete our NRA Basic Instructor Training
class,
- send us an application to the class, an NRA Pre-Course
Questionnaire, and payment of the current class fee, and
- achieve satisfactory scores in an NRA Pre-Course
Qualification that we conduct for promising potential
Instructor candidates.
In your Pre-Course Qualification you must:
1. achieve a score of 90
percent or higher in a written examination and 2. have a
minimum passing score of 80 out of a possible 100 points in
firearms handling, shooting competence, and firearms safety
evaluation.
The NRA states that "Only those candidates who
achieve satisfactory scores in the pre-course qualification, and
who meet other specified requirements for NRA instructors, are
eligible for certification."
 All NRA
instructor training is a two-part course. The
NRA Basic
Instructor Training class is the first part of that two-part course and
is Lessons I-V of every course. The discipline-specific class is the second part
of that two-part course and begins with Lesson VI. Top of Page
