"NLEFIA is right on point with this program! For a 3-day shoot house instructor course, you get a blend of lecture & theory, progressive dry & live-fire drills, hands-on student instructor interaction and plenty of diagnostic feedback. You can't ask for anything more in a program like this! I highly recommend it."  - J. Krupa, Illinois

Live-Fire CQB / Shoot House Instructor Certification

$600

Live-fire training in a shoot house is the pinnacle of all firearms training...and the most challenging for firearms instructors. Not only does the instructor have to watch all things related to firearms training and safety, but also has to simultaneously evaluate and critique the application of sound CQB tactics.  A firearms instructor that only has shoot house training experience as a student does not equate to being qualified to instruct live-fire training in a shoot house. Formal training and certification is highly recommended to conduct this level of live-fire training.

This 3-day / 24-hour instructor certification course is designed to teach firearms instructors how to conduct safe live-fire CQB training in a 360 degree live-fire training environment. In addition, instructors will learn how to increase the skill level and confidence of their students through proper debriefing and motivation.

This course is approved by the NRA LE Division for 24 hours of continuing education credit.

NOTE: This course may require the use of carbines / rifles, depending on the type of shoot house being used. Students don't need to be certified as a rifle instructor to attend.  However, students must have successfully completed a rifle operator certification course of 16+ hours to attend this course.
