I figure they need to average 200+ at each renewal class to certify the existing instructor base.

That is all the room will hold. They said there are 3000+ instructors and 1/2 that amount needing requal. There are alot of Instructors that have not initiated the renewal process.
That doesn't surprise me. With the changes, I can understand many deciding it doesn't pass the cost-benefit analysis. Especially the part timers who don't teach much and now they need to pay to get NRA certification, pay for DPS renewal, take time off their primary job for one or both of those classes, incur travel and hotel expenses for one or both of those classes, etc. Then after doing all that there's no more income from renewal classes.
