This is the class to become an NRA Training Counselor.
I know there are many active NRA instructors that are in the upper midwest that may have considered adding to their credentials. There was to be a class this weekend in Minnesota, but there was not enough interest (I think they need 6-8 as a minimum) so it was cancelled.
However, Barry Anderson ( Barry45ACP at aol.com ) is wiling to come on October 24-26 to do the class. He has it tentatively set for Bismarck, ND, but would be willing to perhaps do it in Fargo if there were enough interest.
I have signed up and am hopeful for enough interest to make it a "go".
Please conact Barry asap if interested. He can fill you in on the pre-requsites etc. Please note that he has some time constraints and would need to make the decision on "go/no-go" by about October 10th. I.e., there is no late procrastinating decision that would work as he needs to order material...make all arrangements etc. So....if interested....please make that decision to contact Barry sooner rather than later.
Here is some information from the NRA about the TC program:

The NRA Training Counselor Program
These workshops consist of an enhanced and informative curriculum based on the training philosophy of Total Participant Involvement, and incorporate the latest up-to-date interactive training methods. Training counselor workshops are designed to provide experienced instructors and current training counselors with the skills necessary to train NRA Certified Instructors how to teach people to shoot according to NRA's nationally recognized training standards. In special discipline-specific training sessions you will acquire hands-on practice using the innovative and NRA Training Counselor Guide.
NRA Training Counselors are experienced, active NRA member-instructors who have been appointed by the NRA to train NRA Certified Instructors. Training counselors make a commitment to conduct at least one instructor training course per year. At the workshop, you will have the opportunity to obtain in-depth training in how to teach discipline-specific teaching skills. Training counselors are authorized to train instructors in those disciplines in which they are certified as NRA instructors in conducting NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses.
You must receive confirmation from NRA before attending a workshop. Workshop attendance is limited to current training counselors and qualified instructors. Workshop attendees must be NRA Certified Instructors with a minimum of two years' recent experience teaching NRA Basic Firearm Training Courses according to current NRA standards. They must also be intimately familiar with NRA instructional methods, training materials, and administrative procedures as a result of this experience. (Five NRA-approved courses and 25 students is the absolute minimum experience recommended for workshop attendance.)
