This series includes the prerequisite NRA Basic CCW class.   The three days are comprised of 30 contact hours of training.  Students must already be an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor and must have successfully completed Basic Instructor Training (BIT) within the last 24 months.

​

We have a BIT class scheduled for May 2, 2023 in San Leandro.  If you need BIT, and are enrolled in the August CCW instructor series, this would be an option.  There is no cost for BIT for students enrolled in any of our instructor training offerings. 

​

This is not a beginner's class.  Candidates for NRA CCW Instructor certification must be able to demonstrate mastery of marksmanship, safe gun handling, and be practiced and skilled in shooting from the holster.

​

Candidates will learn how to run CCW classes with students using holsters for live fire safely from Defensive Accuracy, LLC.   Defensive Accuracy, LLC has been conducting California CCW classes since 2006.  We have trained thousands of folks to present the handgun from the holster and shoot safely.  Students remark often that our classes increase their marksmanship and technique proficiency.  Our safety record is rated A++ and we have never had an injury during a live-fire training session in any of our classes.  We set the bar for excellence with our 16 hour California CCW class, in which the students learn to work from the holster for the entire second day of live-fire training.
