I emailed NRA yesterday, about this. The replyCharles L. Cotton wrote:Yes, we are going to have to take BIT every two years when we renew our NRA instructor credentials. It will be updated annually and will no longer be the same course. This is being done to create a continuing education element to our certification that will help a lot if an instructor is sued. This is preferable to having a continuing education course for each shooting discipline for which we are certified.RossA wrote:So what about that idea of having to take a new BIT class every two years? Is that really going into effect?
Chas.
It’s not actually BIT, but it’s a refresher course instructors will need to complete when they renew. This is NOT complete at this time, but it is in the future, probably two years or so down the road. That’s why we have been putting this information out.
Keep in mind, this is a refresher which will be completed in an elearning environment. It’s not a course that instructors would need to go find, pay to take, etc.. We also will require some activity from our instructors. They should report at least one course per renewal cycle to show that they are an active instructor.
