If you are not able to pass the class, your options will be to retake the entire class at a later date.

What You'll Learn

The USCCA Instructor Certification course comprises both online training and two days in the classroom and includes discussions, lecture, hands-on breakout sessions, teach-backs, a live-fire exercise and shooting qualification.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded.

What We'll Teach

Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals - Certified Instructor

Upon successfully completing this course, you will become a USCCA Certified Instructor uniquely authorized to teach the USCCA course, Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals.

This course has become the nation’s leading curriculum for law-abiding Americans seeking to obtain their concealed carry permit. When it comes to firearms fundamentals and concealed carry and home defense concepts, you will provide your students with high-quality material and help them understand the ‘why’ behind training concepts.

Class Preparation: You must complete the corresponding online learning course. (Automatically sent to you upon registering for the class.)

Day 1: you’ll be taught by a USCCA Training Counselor on a number of valuable topics including:

  • Top ten instructor mistakes and how to avoid them
  • Teaching best practices
  • Running a safe live fire range

Day 2: You’ll have a chance to:

  • Demonstrate your knowledge of the USCCA training material through seven short presentations to a group of your peers
  • Run a live fire range, guiding your peers through the safe completion of the USCCA course of fire

By combining the knowledge of the USCCA and your passion for training more responsibly armed Americans, you can be assured that you’ve found the instructor certification for you.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

Michael Martin, author of Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals, leads the online e-learning course which is approximately 8 hours. Course instructors will cover useful teaching tips and tools, present student materials provided in the Instructor Toolkit, identify important elements within the curriculum, and lead discussions and presentations. The course will also touch upon proper business, financial management, and marketing for the course. (NOTE: The e-learning portion must be completed BEFORE the classroom and range portion. And ownership of the Instructor Toolkit is required for each student. However you do not get your toolkit until the completion of the instructor course.)
