NRA INSTRUCTOR - Basic Instructor Training Course

The NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT) is the mandatory foundational course for anyone looking to become an NRA Certified Instructor. This 6-hour course focuses on the essential skills needed to lead a classroom successfully, teaching you the core instructional methods, policies, and procedures common to all NRA training programs. BIT is a foundational prerequisite and does not certify you to teach a specific firearm discipline on its own. It must be paired with a discipline-specific instructor course (such as Pistol, Rifle, or Shotgun). BIT is required before adding your first certification, or within 2 years of adding a new certification.
