The NRA requires all Pistol Instructor Candidates to have first completed the underlying NRA basic student course in the past plus the NRA Basic Instructor Training (aka “BIT”) course within the past 24 months.  This requirement for the official NRA Basic Pistol Student course applies to all Pistol Instructor Candidates regardless of their background and experience with firearms.  

Here’s what the NRA has to say about their instructor certification.

We offer the following course bundles in our NRA Pistol Instructor Program:
