NRA Instructor Course (Home Firearm Safety)

This course was great. It is run very professionally and Bernard is a great instructor. This course is demanding, with long days and lots of information to retain, but the way that Bernard presents it and push you to succeed is what makes it a great class. Bernard will make you earn your certification but he is very fair and willing to help you earn your certification. I know my future train will be with Bernard and yours should be too!!

Going into Bernard's class, being that it was my first NRA program, I didn't know what to expect. I took from the class so much, and am a better, more knowledgable person for taking it. I learned a great deal. Bernard's attitude and commitment towards his students and the quality of education they receive from his class is admirable. He really takes pride in his work, and it most certainly shows. Prior to taking his instructor's course, I thought being an instructor would be a breeze. My eyes are open now, and it won't be so simple. I don't know what I was actually thinking, when I thought I could be an instructor without taking his course. I must've been crazy. Of course, i will need actual experience applying what I've learned in his instructor's course, but I really feel up to the task now. I went into the class with the notion that after I've completed it, I wouldn't care to take anymore course. I was wrong. I was completely blown away. Surprisingly, Bernard's course makes me want to enroll into more classes. When the time becomes available, I most certainly will do so. Thank you for letting me take your class!

I have taken several NRA Instructor classes from Bernard and he is a great instructor. He does not just "give away" NRA Instructor certifications. He makes you work for them. He makes sure you know the material and can get the information across to the students. I have enjoyed all the classes I have taken from Bernard and believe I will be taking many more NRA Instructor classes from him.

I decided it was time to get my instructor's certification, and chose Bernard based on the web description and testimonials as you find here. It was a great decision! Bernard did a fantastic job! He is extremely knowledgeable, an enthusiastic and attentive trainer, and he kept things entertaining but serious as befits the subject. I highly recommend this program!

Very refreshing and informative to watch and learn from someone as passionate and professional as you and dan. Trust me, I'll be back for shotgun/rifle at least!!!

I didn't know quite what to expect when I signed up for this course but I got more than I bargained for. The instructors were absolutely knowledgeable and the course instruction second to none. Be prepared, this is a rigorous course that requires constant attention. You can make some serious errors if you're not paying attention. Highly, highly recommended to anyone considering becoming a NRA pistol instructor.

I wanted to personally thank you and Dan for the great time this weekend. In my professional career both within the military as well as the outside world with a publicly traded company I have never enjoyed a training session as much as I did yours, especially combined with the knowledge that I took away from it. I hope to see both Dan and yourself in the near future both on a student/instructor relationship but also as an industry partner. Should there ever be anything I can do to assist either of you please do not hesitate to ask.

This course was fantastic! I did not know what to expect from this course going in, but I must say that every aspect of this course was exceptional! The training was first rate, and I definitely felt prepared to teach immediately following the conclusion of the class. Instructors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way. I will definitely be taking courses from here again in the future!

WOW….very tiring time but great classes due to the instructors. Having gone through years of advanced college courses the idea of 12 hours+ days I thought I would need to use some energy drink I purchased. But with the way the classes were organized and conducted time went by in a flash so I never needed them. Dan and Bernard are very engaging and excellent teachers.
