The Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program is a project of Students for the Second Amendment. The goal of the program is to train college and university students to become NRA certified firearms instructors.
The certified instructors will then go back to their campuses to offer training to their classmates, and others interested in learning more about the safe, competent, operation and handling of many types of firearms.
The instructors will also be volunteering their training services to programs outside of the academic community, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, The 4-H Shooting Program, Youth Hunter Education Programs, and JROTC organizations.
After two years serving as instructors, program members will be strongly encouraged to become NRA certified Training Counselors. As Training Counselors, members will train others to become certified NRA instructors.
Instructor certifications currently offered through the Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program include:
Home Firearm Safety
Basic Pistol* (Must be 21 years of age)
Basic Rifle
Personal Protection in the Home
Range Safety Officer
Shotgun* (available in July,2002)
