I just got certified as an NRA basic pistol instructor.

Last weekend I completed the 17 hour course and today got the E-mail from the NRA accepting my certification.

Just bragging, I guess :)
 
Congrats! I've been thinking about becoming certified basic pistol instructor. What is involved in doing so?

Thanks for the congrats guys. It's not really difficult to become an instructor. It was about 16 hours of class room and 1 hour of range time plus about 4 hours spent studying after day one. It's a 2 day marathon in short. I think anyone with a slightly better than basic understanding of firearms and firearm safety and has the right attitude for the position as instructor can make it. The range qualification is an 18 shot 6" group at 45'. I'm a little embarrassed at my results from the range portion and am finally going to get my eyes checked (I know I've needed to for awhile now, and this was my wake up call that my 35 year old eyes aint so young anymore).
 
Yay and to make things even better on Friday the Illinois State finally police began accepting applications for carry concealed instructors, so I got fingerprinted and will begin teaching those classes once I get approval, probably late September or early October, from the Illinois State Police.
