Registration Payment Options:

The NRA Pistol Instructor Candidate Training Class Fee is only $250, and it includes all of the course material needed for the day. It does not cover lunch, NRA instructor registration fees ($30 for NRA members or $50 for non-NRA members), pistol usage, and ammunition. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for registration and it is specific for the class date that you are registering for. Switching dates, cancelations, or no shows result in deposit forfeiture. Rescheduling requires a new $50 deposit payment. Also, if a candidate is unable to complete the pre-course qualifications before the class date, the deposit is also forfeited. The remaining paid class fees can be refunded or applied to a future class date.

You have two registration payment options:

1. Prepay the $250 class fee in whole. This option includes the $50 non-refundable deposit. The remainder $200 is refundable and transferable.  
2. Pay only the $50 non-refundable deposit and pay the remaining $200 at the class ($250 total fee). 

If you are rescheduling, then you will need to pay the non-refundable deposit again. If you already paid the class fee, please make a comment in the comment box when registering as to what class date you previously paid for so that we can apply that payment towards your current class date, you will still need to pay the $50 non-refundable deposit to finalize registration. Absolutely no exceptions are made for refunding the non-refundable deposit. 

If you choose to mail a check or money order as payment, payment must be received before registration can be completed. Returned checks are subject to a fee.

Registration Tips:

Please register using your name as you want it on your certificate. Each participant has to register and pay separately.

The actual range address will be given at the class. It is about a 6-minute drive from the classroom. Please dress appropriate for the weather. Do not bring your firearm into the classroom. Bring your pistol, 100 rounds of ammunition (more if you need to qualify), and range safety equipment on Monday to use on the range.
