If you have a good instructor, it's like any other class. You get out of it what you put into it. The real answer is up to you. My class was boring but I enjoy helping others with the sport. That makes it worth it.

If your taking an NRA course to be an NRA Instructor you need to teach the NRA syllabus otherwise you can risk having your certification revoked.

Really? And if the organization/facility I'm instructing at doesn't follow the NRA syllabus? Does the NRA provide a syllabus?

The way I have understood it is that you can teach your own syllabus but you cannot call it an NRA class or give a NRA Cert. Now that might be different once you obtain the Advance Pistol Instructor Credential but I need to look more closely into that before I can say for sure.

To clarify my earlier post. Teach the NRA outline - but the .ppt slides they give you are horrible. You will need to make your own to have anything that looks like quality material.

When I teach I follow the NRA books and guidelines but my .ppt material is much much much better. I also throw in some extra stuff in places (audio calls from 911, citations to specific laws, newspaper articles, etc.) to break up the class a bit and keep it fresh.

Odds are I'll be teaching a fair amount of CCW classes, in which case I'll provide what's required to be covered by law/NRA, and then go a few steps further... as far as non-NRA named classes I'll go by my own syllabus and what would work best for me and what would benefit my students. I don't think the place I might be teaching has any official NRA classes besides the CCW.
