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

Come learn from someone who has been to the A list schools and who knows what works and how to develop instructors!

SIG Academy InSights Training Center Academi Blackwater Handgun Combatives John Farnam Rangemaster Dave Spaulding

And more.

If you are ready to become a highly trained firearms instructor who is prepared to arm their students with an exceptional education then you are ready to become a USCCA Certified Instructor!

Join the ranks of the professional instructor and you can help teach people to become responsibly armed gun owners. Education is the key to dispelling the myths and untruths that we all face. As a certified instructor, you will have the knowledge and ability to safely teach gun owners about shooting, safe ownership, and safe (and legal) use of a firearm for self defense.

Please note: This course is not going to make you a better shooter. This course is designed to make the experienced shooter a good instructor.

The USCCA Instructor Certification course is approximately one day online and two days in the classroom and includes hands-on breakout sessions and a live-fire exercise. Ownership of the Instructor Toolkit is required. You will also cover the important skills needed to setting up and running your classroom and the range.

Cancellation Policy: Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL MY ATTENDANCE IN ONE OF YOUR COURSES? A: WE HAVE A FAIRLY RELAXED POLICY BUT THERE ARE LIMITS. We realize that attending a course is an investment in time and money for you, but it is also an investment for us, the course location hosts, and the instructors themselves. Each class requires administrative and logistical planning, and in most cases, a financial commitment as well. By the time the course starts, we have expended time, energy, and finances on your behalf. We are upholding our end of the agreement in providing you a professionally operated course or experience. Please be sure you understand the policy before enrolling in a class. By signing up for any of our courses, you agree to abide by these policies. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions about these policies, please contact us. If you have enrolled in a class and later find that you cannot make it, please contact us immediately. MORE THAN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR COURSE If you register for a course but have to cancel 30 days or more prior to your course, your tuition is fully refundable or you may accept Tuition Credit and apply that amount to a future course or courses. (Tuition Credit must be used within 12 months from the date of cancellation) WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR COURSE If you cancel between 8 and 30 days prior to class, your tuition is not refundable. However, you may apply that tuition to another course or courses as Tuition Credit. (Tuition Credit must be used within 12 months from the date of cancellation) WITHIN ONE WEEK OF YOUR COURSE If you have to cancel within 7 days of a course, OR fail to show up for a course, your tuition is non refundable and no Tuition Credit is available. Once you have accepted either Tuition Credit or a rescheduled course date, there is no cash value. There are no refunds available. The above policy applies regardless of when you register. There are no exceptions.
