Firearm Instructor Development Schools Overview:

NRA Law Enforcement Firearm Instructor Development Schools develop and enhance both instructor skills and firearm handling skills of all students so they can effectively teach their officers to win lethal encounters.  These schools are intended for public and private law enforcement officers and military personnel who are currently assigned, or about to be assigned, duties as law enforcement firearm instructors.

The curriculum is designed to prepare students to develop and conduct safe, effective, reality-based and agency-related firearm training.  Classroom instruction and practical exercises on the range provide a model for students to use in building their own agency programs.  In addition, the school will enhance each student's firearm knowledge and handling skills. All classes and range exercises are conducted at the instructor level, with students conducting many of the range exercises to gain experience.  Students are exposed to a wide variety of shooting techniques, training methods, and tactical philosophies, which allows them to choose what best serves their students.

Each of our Instructor Development Schools consists of a minimum of forty-four (44) contact hours during a five (5) day school.  "Conact hours" refers to actual instructional time in the classroom and on the range, and does not include travel time between the lodging and training site, meal times, or range clean-up.  Classes will be conducted from approximately 0800 - 1800 hours, Monday through Friday, plus one late night, (two late nights in the Tactical Shooting Instructor), to accommodate reduced light shooting.  100% attendance and participation is MANDATORY for successful school completion.  Students must demonstrate teaching and shooting proficiency and pass a written examination in all of the schools.

Instructor School Discipline:

Patrol Rifle Instructor:

This school centers on the law enforcement rifle for patrol officers using iron sights or optics (which must be removed for zeroing exercises). The classroom portion informs students how to teach basic fundamentals of rifle marksmanship and handling, how to zero iron-sighted rifles, and discusses zeroing policy and liability concerns.  Range work quickly moves frombasic marksmanship to tactical movement, use of cover, various firing positions, pivots and turns, use of the "safety circle" concept, reloading under stress, firing on the move, multiple threats, unvonventional shooting positions, decision-making, and reduced light threat identification and firing.  Students groups will design a tactical course of fire, develop a lesson plan and run fellow students through their course at the end of the week.

Tuition:

Tuition for each Instructor Development School is $595 per student, payable by check, credit card, or purchase order to the NRA prior to the school.  In addition, the hosting agency may charge a "range fee" to cover cardboard, staples, coffee, snacks and other out-of-pocket expenses, payable directly to the host on site.  Range fees vary from $25 - $50.

Note:

Tuition may be tax deductible for eduation expenses. US Citizens: Treasury Regulation 1.162.5 permits an income tax deduction for educational expenses (registration fees, cost of travel, meals and lodging) undertaken to maintain or improve skills required for one's employment or other trade or business.
