From what my TC said (I have not independently verified this), the NRA provides the training & course materials for most, if not all, military & federal agent firearms training. He (NRA Training Counselor William Crowe) has personally assisted in teaching some of those basic firearms classes for the FBI and a few other agencies. He was even contracted to go to England to teach SAS officers over there. He had some really cool stories about that trip.Samurai Solutions wrote:I suspect that the Department of State (DoS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) provide advanced National and International Training Certifications that only cleared personnel are permitted to attend, such as a WPPS training that is 60 days long or Foreign weapons courses in the military. Two areas that the common person will not get, of course any person can pay money for some "Tactical" school offering advanced training similar to the above. don't get me wrong, Civilian Certifications are good, just not the same. Besides the Government pays a person to attend courses not the other way around.

Re: A Little Help
Just an FYI, pistol shooting is a badge available for Venture & Sea Scouts.MamaK wrote:Boy Scouts badge is in rifle, not pistol. If you establish a charity, you can apply to the NRA for a grant to teach the class to boy scouts for free.
You will also want to consider getting your RSO. You really should read up on the NRA a bit more..
"Probably the best initial experience for a new trainer is to team-teach a course with an
established, experienced training team or, as an alternative, to audit the course conducted
by such a team. This allows the new trainer to gain confidence and to see, first-hand,
how the course progresses smoothly from start to finish."
the NRA instructor rating is good for those working DoD and DoS security contracts. As for civvie side classes, it depends. Your course materials cost a bit more per student than CHL (I think roughly between 7 to 16 dollars per packet depending on the course. You can't get around that.) You'll get all this from your NRA counsel.
