Our goal is to offer courses as affordably as possible for our candidates. Obviously, the more candidates in a course, the more affordably we can offer these courses. We do not need to make a huge profit when we offer these trainings. More students will allow us to offer more and bigger discounts. Please do not pay any deposits until we call you and advise you of the final price and ask for the deposit. We do charge a 3% fee for all credit card, or debit card payments.
The rifle series consists of BR, RSO, BIT, RI and RC.
The total fee for the rifle series including all five courses will be discounted from $1,446.00 to $1,399.00 for candidates who complete the full series. This amount will include student books and materials and one two-hour session at a local range to accomplish any live fire requirements. The fee paid to HPCC will not cover any fees due to NRA to complete each candidate’s credentialling registration as an instructor, RSO, CRSO, or Coach. These fees are paid to NRA. These fees are usually payable to the NRA every two years.
NOTE 3: Of the courses we are offering in these two series, NRA Credentialing fees apply to RI, PI, CRSO, and any Coach certification. NRA Members for the first rating: $40, Non-Members: $175. Additional Rating Activation fee: NRA Members: $20, Non-Members: $40.00.
The Pistol Series will be BP, PI with BIT, CRSO, (without the prerequisite BIT and without the prerequisite RSO), and PC. BIT and RSO are required for CRSO. Both are offered during the Rifle series. Call us to see how you can attend those series trainings if you do not want to attend the full series. 575-985-5555.
The total fee for the pistol series including all four courses will be discounted from $1,296.00 to $1,199.00 for candidates who complete the full series. This amount will include student books and materials. The fee paid to HPCC will not cover any fees due to NRA to complete each candidate’s credentialling registration as an instructor, RSO, or CRSO. These fees are paid to NRA. These fees are usually payable to the NRA every two years. SEE NOTE 3:
The total fee for any candidate who wants to complete both series of courses would normally be $2,742.00. HPCC will apply an additional $200.00 discount to bring the total for both full series of courses to only $2,542.00. This discount will apply to any candidate who wants to complete BR, RSO, BIT, RI, RC, BP, PI, PC and CRSO to become an NRA Rifle Instructor, an NRA Pistol Instructor, an NRA Chief Range Safety Officer (remember CRSOs can train RSOs), an NRA/USA Shooting/CMP Level 1 Small Bore and Air Rifle Marksmanship Coach, and an NRA/USA Shooting/CMP Level 1 Pistol Marksmanship Coach. FYI, we also offer NRA/USA Shooting/CMP Level 1 High Power Rifle Coach, but this is not currently figured in with this schedule. Call us at 575-985-5555 if you think this is something you might like to have added to this series of classes for an additional fee that also would be discounted. Any candidate who completes both series will be offered two more days of training from March 17-18, 2027, for High Power Rifle Coach at no additional charge!
NOTE 4: HPCC has a minimum number of candidates required to put on any course. Also, NRA requires a minimum of four candidates to conduct any Instructor course, or any CRSO course.
The deposit for each series will be due once a series has the minimum number of registered candidates. Please do not make any payments, or deposits until we call you. However, registration for each series will close no later than 4 weeks prior to the series start date. If by the registration close date, the series does not have enough candidates, the series will be cancelled, or rescheduled to a later timeframe, and no deposits will be collected.
HPCC will always refund any fees collected on the rare occasion where we are forced to cancel any course. Refunds are not offered for no-show candidates. Substituting another candidate in your place with at least 72 hours-notice can sometimes be allowed; provided the substitute candidate meets all the prerequisites. Reschedules can sometimes be offered if requested far enough in advance. However, we cannot guarantee they will be offered in the same location without being rescheduled to several months later.
Candidates can pick and choose courses to sign up for without signing up for a full series, but those candidates will be charged the NRA website advertised price as listed above for each of those courses, and they will be charged the NRA website deposit for each of those courses; those deposits will be subject to the same refund restrictions. Regardless of how many candidates sign up for individual courses, HPCC will need a minimum number of candidates for each course in a series to conduct any of the courses, with some exceptions. Contact us for exceptions.
NRA student materials are included with the fee for each course, or series of courses and will be provided to each candidate. The fee for each basic class includes one session lasting two hours of live fire range time and coaching; this is when the NRA live fire qualification for each series will be attempted. Any candidate requiring additional range time, or range days to shoot the NRA required qualification will be responsible for paying any additional range fees.
Candidates should bring a .22 rifle with open, or iron sights and sufficient ammunition to fire the required qualification for the rifle series of classes. Center fire rifles with open, or iron sights are allowed, but rimfire is suggested.
Candidates should bring a .22 caliber pistol with open, or iron sights and sufficient ammunition to fire the required qualification for the pistol series of classes. Center fire pistols with open, or iron sights are allowed, but rimfire is suggested.
NRA allows optics, but we do not allow optics. Call us to discuss why we only allow iron, or open sights and why that could be a significant advantage to you.
All firearms and ammunition must meet the approval of the HPCC training team.
HPCC will bring loaner 22. rifles and .22 pistols that are conducive to this type of live fire qualification. You provide your ammo.
NRA has live fire prequalification requirements for each Instructor course. The live fire might be conducted in the evening after classroom training, so those days could be a little longer than the scheduled 9:00 am to 5:00 pm class days; please plan accordingly.
NOTE 5: This is not exact, but in general the prequals look like this:
Pistol Instructor candidates, among other requirements, will need to be able to shoot a twenty shot, slow fire, six-inch group at fifteen yards, standing, unsupported, with open or iron sights, no optics, using as many hands as you would like.
Rifle Instructor candidates, among other requirements, will need to be able to shoot a ten shot, slow fire, four and a half-inch group at twenty-five yards, in bench rest, in prone and in standing unsupported, with open or iron sights, no optics, using as many hands as you would like, for a total of 30 rounds.
Other requirements are things like demonstrating impeccable firearm safety standards while handling firearms and simulators. Each course also has a written evaluation.
We will bring loaner .22 pistols and loaner .22 rifles that are very conducive to this style of qualification. You provide the ammo.
NOTE 6: If for any reason you currently have any trouble shooting these qualifications, do not worry! You are hiring us to train you to be able to shoot these qualifications if you attend any of our basic classes. You are hiring us to train you to be able to teach others to be able to shoot these qualifications if you attend any of our instructor classes! While we cannot guarantee you will be able to shoot the mandatory prequalification courses of fire after our instruction, nor do we offer any money back if we are unable to teach you how to shoot these qualifications, we are highly successful at teaching candidates to be able to shoot these qualifications! If you do it the way we will train you, the way the NRA wants us to train you, you should be fine! Remember this, how crappy of a shot does someone need to be before we say maybe that someone should not be teaching others how to shoot? Without meaning to offend anyone, the requirements listed in NOTE 5 are not competitive requirements. I have teenage male and female marksmen in our shooting club (see High Plains Marksmanship Academy) who shoot far above these qualifications. They do this using the same methods and fundamentals we will be talking about.
Go to the range and see if you can currently shoot at the level of these quals, or better. If you are having any difficulty at all, come to class with an open mind and we will do our best to help you make it happen! We are very proud of our track record of getting people able to shoot these qualifications. We are also very proud of our track record of taking shooters who are highly accomplished marksmen and decreasing their group sizes too!
Remember, we will bring loaner .22 pistols and loaner .22 rifles that are very conducive to this style of qualification. You provide the ammo.
Contact us at O 575-985-5555, or C 413-626-7778, or training@highplainsconcealedcarry.com to discuss preparing for each shooting qualification, and to answer any questions regarding allowed firearms.
NOTE 7: Candidates are urged to bring lunch, drinks, snacks and a cooler each day. Lunchtime each day will be a working lunch to maximize class time productivity. Here is a question for you. If we have ten candidates in a class, and we give everyone from noon till 1:00 pm for lunch, how many of the ten will not make it back until sometime well after 1:00? Besides that, we would have to start an hour earlier to make up for the lunch hour. Bring your mom with you or be prepared to clean up yourself! Any candidate who wishes to bring a smoker, and who can properly smoke a moist brisket for all of us in the class to enjoy, oh who am I kidding, as long as they can provide this for the instructors, that candidate will receive extra points on all evaluations!; subject to the instructors approval of the brisket!
As more candidates register for and pay for an individual course, or courses, or series of courses, the total fee for that course, the courses, or the series of courses may be reduced incrementally for each candidate.
Unfortunately, the NRA website does not allow one registration to enroll a candidate in multiple courses. Candidates will need to register for each individual course.
Note 8: If you are an NRA member, your course registration information must match your NRA membership information exactly, such as name, address, phone number and NRA membership number (excluding the three zeros that may be at the beginning of your NRA membership number). Do not register for a course without using your NRA membership number unless you are OK paying the much higher credential registration fees to the NRA. Call us to join the NRA if you are not a member. Please call us at least one week before registering for any courses, as it takes a few days for the NRA to issue an actual membership number.
NOTE 9: Successfully completing a Basic course with a qualifying live fire score (see NOTE 5 for live fire requirements) is a prerequisite for attending any corresponding Instructor course! For instance, completing Basic Pistol at Level 4 is a prerequisite for Pistol Instructor. Rifle instructor is similar. Call us 575-985-5555.
NOTE 10: When you register for the Rifle Instructor course, you must print Appendix 3 found on the registration page for that class. You must bring this appendix with you to course to be completed by you and by us during the course. We suggest you put it in a ring binder with room for additional materials. NOTE 11: When you register for the Pistol Instructor course, you must print Appendix 5 found on the registration page for that course. You must bring this appendix with you to the course to be completed by you and by us during the course. We suggest you put it in a ring binder with room for additional materials. NOTE 12: Before registering for any courses, click on the HOME link at the top and see the page about OUR TRAINING TEAM to know what movies you need to watch before attending any of our courses; that is if you want to get any of the HPCC instructor's movie quotes and references! YOU WILL BE GIVEN A QUIZ ON THESE MOVIES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE! This quiz will be pass/fail. Candidates who fail this quiz will be expelled from all courses without receiving any refunds! That's right, we said it!

Call us to join the NRA if you are not a member. Please call us at least one week before registering for any courses, as it takes a few days for the NRA to issue an actual membership number.
NOTE 9: Successfully completing a Basic course with a qualifying live fire score (see NOTE 5 for live fire requirements) is a prerequisite for attending any corresponding Instructor course! For instance, completing Basic Pistol at Level 4 is a prerequisite for Pistol Instructor. Rifle instructor is similar. Call us 575-985-5555.
NOTE 10: When you register for the Rifle Instructor course, you must print Appendix 3 found on the registration page for that class. You must bring this appendix with you to course to be completed by you and by us during the course. We suggest you put it in a ring binder with room for additional materials. NOTE 11: When you register for the Pistol Instructor course, you must print Appendix 5 found on the registration page for that course. You must bring this appendix with you to the course to be completed by you and by us during the course. We suggest you put it in a ring binder with room for additional materials. NOTE 12: Before registering for any courses, click on the HOME link at the top and see the page about OUR TRAINING TEAM to know what movies you need to watch before attending any of our courses; that is if you want to get any of the HPCC instructor's movie quotes and references! YOU WILL BE GIVEN A QUIZ ON THESE MOVIES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE! This quiz will be pass/fail. Candidates who fail this quiz will be expelled from all courses without receiving any refunds! That's right, we said it!
