To become a CCW instructor in IL . . .
So local range owner said he'd consider me as an instructor if I got qualified to teach CC in Illinois. I've been on line trying to figure out what training I need to do that and am a touch confused. I have NRA basic pistol plus the eight extra hours to qualify for my own CC permit. What else do I need to teach besides finger prints and the paper work?

If nobody here can answer your question maybe you could go back to the range owner and ask him...I'd think he'd know what the qualifications were if for no other reason than to check and make sure they were good.

You need to take the NRA instructors course for basic pistol, basic pistol is not enough. The requirements are on the ISP website.

Don P, I think what JohnMoses means is you have to become a NRA instructor in basic pistol, not just take the class as a student. Or at least that's how I took it?

Yeh, guess it could be taken either way. What we need is for the OP to clarify his statement

"...as he stated this..." No instructor qualifications or training mentioned. Having personal level training and a CCW licence does not make one an instructor.
Aside from the stuff Jazzgun posted, how much time have you spent actually teaching? Preferably firearms related subjects and the local laws pertaining to 'em? It matters.

If one is to become an instructor, the NRA classes are just a beginning step, IMHO. It depends how in depth you want to go. Is the class just legalisms for the permit with some basic handgun techniques? It seems so from the descriptions, I've found.
If one is interested in a greater depth of knowledge and higher level instructing then, classes like this are a good idea: https://massadayoobgroup.com/deadly-...tructor-class/ http://rangemaster.com/training/inst...opment-course/ http://rangemaster.com/training/adva...opment-course/ These are not cheap but quite intensive. I would also be cognizant of gender issues in instruction. See our Pax's write up: http://www.corneredcat.com/what-make...ms-instructor/ for example. I would ask the instructor's credentials if I were interested in more than a simple permit certification and would expect such along with a battery of tactical usage courses and competition participation. So decide your level of instruction and don't teach out of your depth. With no offense to anyone we have a range of 'tactical instructors' out there.

Personally, I wouldn't want to become a Illinois CCL Instructor. If I understood correctly, there is a certain amount of liability the instructor is required to hold, even after the student passes. As law suit happy as Illinois is, I want no part of that. |
