Re: My instructor said....

FWIW.
The state only requires the Instructors to teach the class in person and orally, following the syllabus the state has given each instructor with at least a minimum amount of time spent covering each defined section. The state does not tell the Instructors how to say it or how much they can charge. Instructors are also to give and grade the state test and do the proficiency test personally and in the manner the state requires, using the target that the state has approved (B27). All instruction must be given by a certified Instructor.

I am an Instructor I teach orally but I also teach using PowerPoint and give each student a handout that contains all PowerPoint slides. The student also receive the CHL16, a pen to write with all is included in class cost. I have had several folks who have their CHL but want to attend to become aware of changes in the Law since they received theirs. If they are attending with someone else there is no charge. If they want a copy of the handouts and CHL16 then I ask them to donate to cover the cost. In my records I also keep a copy of the PowerPoint used in that class. (I do update or rearrange the content from time to time)

My fine print on class application also states:
While class instruction will cover the requirements made by the State of Texas. I realize that this class is not designed to teach the student how to shoot a handgun and there are many aspects of the Law that I must review and will be responsible for knowing. Such as, changes and additions to such Laws affecting LTC holders. I also realize, it is also the responsibility of the LTC license holder to read and understand the existing law and stay current with the law and changes in the law as they occur.

I also agree to listen and follow all instructions and conduct myself in a safe and responsible manner. I agree not to hold instructors, students or other parties responsible for any accidents or injuries caused by my failure to follow instruction or failure to act in a safe and responsible manner. I also agree that not following instruction or failing to act safe and responsible, the Instructor may discontinue my presence, without refund, resulting in no credit given for time in class. Followed by dated student signature.

The few Instructors that I have assisted have been as thorough as time allows. Like them I do not feel I can morally teach what the class needs to understand in the minimum 4 hours, my goal is less than 5 the state allows up to 6.
