Trainer Course

This course fills the gap between the Safety Officer (SO) and the Firearms Instructor. The SO is certified to run and score a given stage at a match. The firearms instructor is a very experienced teacher who is able to bring value to both the beginner and the master level shooter.

But who is actually qualified to lead the weekly training at your club? The SO certification clearly has nothing to do with the work of a trainer and the prerequisites for a full firearms instructor are set too high for many people. This is where the trainer comes into play! The trainer will be able to plan and lead successful training sessions of about 2-3 hours for small groups of about 5-10 shooters.

 

This class is for experienced shooters who already possess prior general knowledge and experience in the field of teaching and coaching. It will not extensively cover the general topics of teaching methodology and adult learning techniques. The participants should bring a practical understanding of those topics to the course.

​

The goal is to learn and practice to plan and lead successful training sessions for small groups of shooters. It will enable the participants to become a trainer at a club and to help provide more success and more fun to the club members. Successful training sessions are based on a few proven tools and techniques that are introduced and practiced in this course. You will learn using standard course material and examples and you will practice how to customize the contents to your and your trainees needs.
