Pine Barrens Gun Range
Our NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT) Course is one of 3 required courses for anyone interested in taking the first steps towards becoming a certified NRA Pistol Instructor.
In this course, we cover:
Instructor and program basics: Understanding the NRA Basic Firearm Training Program and NRA policies and procedures.
Teaching and training skills: How to use a training team, utilize training materials and aids, and organize a course effectively.
Public speaking: Basic public speaking skills, including how to introduce a speaker and overcome challenges.
Course preparation: How to prepare to teach, including role-playing exercises to practice what has been learned.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Prerequisite: BIT is a prerequisite for all other NRA instructor courses.
No specific certification: The BIT course alone does not certify you to teach a specific firearm course; you must complete additional instructor-level training, specifically the NRA Pistol Instructor Course offered by RFI on 6/14/2026.
*** Successful completion & passing of the NRA Basic Pistol (student-level) course is required to enroll in the Basic Instructor Training (BIT) Course as well as the NRA Pistol Instructor Course. You may sign up for all 3 courses at the same time (if you have not completed any of the required courses). Additionally, you may sign up for just the BIT Course & Pistol Instructor Course (if you’ve already completed NRA Basic Pistol with RFI or another agency).
*** Proof of completion (ex: course certificate) must be provided to RFI if you have taken the NRA Basic Pistol Course with an outside agency.
