Instructor Certification

Please acknowledge that this class requires participation to pass. Being present does not guarantee that you will leave with a USCCA Instructor Certificate. If you attend the course and do not receive certification, refunds will not be given. This course is a pass/fail course; there will be no options for remedial training after the fact. 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

This is the Instructor workshop for the USCCA "Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals" course. The class is in two parts: an e-Learning module (8 hours, approximately), and an in-person module lasting 18 hours, over two days. The Price of $600 is fully inclusive of both parts, and the Instructor Toolkit.

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

Please note that eLearning *must* be completed at least 48 hours before the in-person class. All class materials are provided. Please come prepared to take notes. Please be thoroughly familiar with the eLearning material. Registration and payment for both parts of this class are done on this site. Please email Learn@scotshot.com with your questions. Thanks!

    "The was an amazing class. Not only the great knowledge of our instructors. But they made the learning process goal minded and promoted our own strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend this class with grant any day of the week "

    Submitted on Mon, Dec. 8, 2025 by Roger S S.

    "Good morning, Roger and thank you for your 5-star review and enthusiastic words of support, they are much appreciated. I generally find it's the students - Instructor Candidates in this case - who make the class, not the Instructors and you contributed a lot to its overall success. Congratulations, and remember you can reach out at any time. Good luck!"
