There is still availablity in this course

Tom ,
I was in your carbine operator class last month. I don’t currently hold any instructor certification would I be able to take this course?

Yes, you can, especially having gone through carbine operator. My suggestion is that you take a general instructor program of some kind. Its not sexy or even related to firearms most of the time unless its an LE MIL program. Understanding adult learning process definitely builds a stronger instructor. You can tell the difference between the ones who have had a similar background and those who have not. Hopefully we will see you in September.
