The 6 hour NRA Basic Instructor Training Course (BIT) is a pre-requisite class to all other NRA instructor courses.  The purpose of the class is to introduce the instructor candidate to the NRA's instructional program, methods of teaching the students, considerations when planning and arranging a class, and how to obtain student material packets.

Once the candidate has successfully completed this course, the individual can then enroll in discipline specific (pistol, rifle, shotgun) NRA instructor classes.
