NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT) class Poll

Dukes Defense · Jul 31, 2013

Coming Soon NRA Instructor Training. Starting with the NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT) course which is a pre-requisite for all the NRA firearm safety instructor courses.

So the question is would you rather spend x2 evenings for three hours each during the week or one six hour class on a Saturday or Sunday? click on the poll or reply to the thread and post your answer.

Thanks.

I attend one day.

I could plan for either weekend day, but Sundays may be easier since there tends to be more family demands on Saturdays.

Either day would be fine with me on the weekend.

Either weekend day - it would be easy to plan around either Saturday or Sunday, although Saturday would probably be a bit better for me.

Sunday is the best for me.

One day would work for me

I actually liked the two days during the week as it was easier to stomach. Either one works though.

I was under the impression the actually BIT is not a recognized course with the NRA and that it must be done in combination with a concentration.

At least that is what I was told.

SUNDAY, AS I WORK SAT.

Sunday would work best for me.

Would go a single day - either weekend day works typically.

Yes that is correct. We will have a follow on Pistol, Rifle or Shotgun course with the BIT on a following weekend.

You took the BIT a few weeks ago but are taking the pistol portion in October or so, is that right? Is that when you'll get your certification?

It's also my understanding that once you have the BIT (w/ pistol, for example), you don't have to retake it for shotgun or rifle, you just have to take the specialty portion of those courses.

Sundays work for me...

Wish I knew you were going to do this. I signed up several weeks ago at the Mayberry Game Protective Association, and took the pre-qualifacation class yesterday in Westminster. I go back Sept. 5 & 6 for the BIT and on the 8th for the Basic Pistol class. 45 minute drive to your place is a lot closer than the 1 1/2 hours to Westminster for me.

Maybe when you offer different disciplines I will come to you. Much easier for me.

It depends. Most TC's will waive the BIT requirement if you take an instructor class within 1 year of taking the BIT.

Some require taking the BIT for each certification class.

To be safe, always ask the TC who is conducting the instructor class.

Thanks Michael. Good advice. BTW, I completed the MSPQHI course this past weekend w/ Ben & Brook, and they paid great compliments to you, as well as doing a great job themselves. So I wanted to pass that along, as well as my own gratitude for helping make that course accessible. I thoroughly enjoyed it & learned tons. Thanks!
