As you will see, Clark County only wants well trained and qualified instructors teaching NV CCW. While Texas may have the strictest shooting proficiency requirements for a CCW (they call it LTC) Instructor of any State we are aware of, Nevada has the most extensive CCW Instructor training requirements of any State we are aware of! Once you meet these requirements, you will be well qualified to apply for appointment as a CCW (or whatever they call it) Instructor for several other states if you choose to. Remember, this process will also allow you to offer several in-demand NRA courses along with the NV CCW course (if you are appointed by the state). NRA courses come with the advantage of an NRA Instructor being able to advertise those courses on the NRA Instructor website. Advertising NRA courses on the NRA Instructor website is free to NRA Instructors, and it is a very powerful advertising tool for NRA courses! As we currently understand the process to apply become a CCW Instructor in Clark County (each county can have different instructor requirements, but the CCW license is good state-wide), a candidate who is an NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home Instructor (PPOHI) is eligible to apply for appointment, along with any other requirements imposed by the state and the county.
The progression to complete PPOHI looks like this.
1. Successfully complete NRA Basic Pistol (BP) and score Level 4 on the live fire component, usually 1 day. This course can be one-on-one, but more candidates means lower prices and more fun.
2. We strongly urge all candidates to then successfully complete NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO), usually one day. ask your attorney why this is a good idea. This course can be one-on-one, but more candidates means lower prices and more fun. 3. Successfully complete NRA Pistol Instructor (PI). NRA requires a minimum four candidates to hold any instructor course, so scheduling a course is sometimes a challenge to find enough candidates who can be in the same place at the same time. This course is usually two days. This course will usually include one day to present NRA Basic Instructor Training (BIT). An NRA Instructor candidate must complete BIT unless that candidate has completed BIT within the 24 months prior to completing any other NRA instructor course. PI is usually two days with the first day being BIT and the second day being PI.
4. Successfully complete NRA Personal Protection In The Home (PPIH). Usually one day. This course can be one-on-one, but...
5. Successfully complete NRA Defensive Pistol (DP), Usually one day. This is an optional course we strongly suggest, call us at 575-985-5555. This course can be one-on-one, but more candidates means...
6. Successfully complete NRA PPIH Instructor (PPIHI). NRA requires a minimum four candidates to hold any instructor course, so... This course is usually one day, provided the candidate meets the BIT requirement stated in step 3. Otherwise the course will be two days.
7. Successfully complete NRA Personal Protection Outside The Home (PPOH). Usually two days. This course can be one-on-one, but more candidates means...
8. Successfully complete NRA PPOH Instructor (PPOHI). Usually two days, provided the candidate meets the BIT requirement stated in step 3. NRA requires a minimum four candidates to hold any instructor course, so... 9. We strongly urge you to successfully complete NRA Chief Range Safety Officer (CRSO). This will allow a candidate to also offer the NRA RSO course along with BP, PPIH, PPOH and a few other courses that come with all of these other instructor certifications. Because you probably just completed BIT and RSO, CRSO is only one additional day. Otherwise, it is three days to become a CRSO. Call us to see how you can accomplish all these courses, 575-985-5555. We can offer all these courses in a schedule that could work very nicely for you provided we can get the minimum number of candidates for the instructor courses.
NOTE: No deposits or fees for any of our classes will be collected by HPCC until the minimum number of students have registered for a particular class. Please wait until we contact you and request a deposit before making any payments!
NOTE: All course prices include all NRA, or other governing organization's mandated materials. All our course prices do not include NRA credentialing registration fees, or credentialing renewal fees. These fees are paid by the candidate directly to the NRA, see below. Registration fees are required for RSO, CRSO and all instructor certifications as well as a few others.
NOTE: NRA Credential Registration Fee Structure:NRA Members will pay $40.00 for the first rating and $20.00 for each additional rating in a 24-month period. Non-NRA Members will pay $175.00 for the first rating and $40.00 for each additional rating in a 24-month period. These fees are usually payable to the NRA every two years to maintain currency. However, members will only pay one fee every two years to renew all ratings; not a fee for each rating! Call us to Join the NRA. NOTE: Our fees for all of our courses that have a live fire component will include a two-hour to six-hour session at a local shooting range for the live fire component. The length depends on the particular course requirements. Candidates are responsible for firearms and ammunition. All firearms and ammunition must meet the approval of the HPCC instructors. If a candidate requires additional trips to a shooting range to accomplish course requirements, the candidate will be responsible for any additional range fees. Call 575-985-5555 to discuss any live fire requirements, allowed firearms, or allowed ammunition.
