This course is approximately nine hours long and is conducted in a classroom and at a shooting facility. The CRSO class enables you to conduct classes for RSO candidates. This class includes the free Basic Instructor Training section on 9/22/18 if you have not had a BIT course in the previous 2 year or want a refresher. A BIT course is required to obtain your CRSO credentials. The BIT course takes about 5 hours and we will likely start on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm.
If you do not currently have your RSO certification, you will need to come on 8/26/18 and get certified as an RSO. You can get a discount on the RSO class if you select the bundle below when you sign up for the CRSO course. Lunch and materials are provided. We also have a bunkhouse available free of charge for those traveling.
On August 26th, Range Safety Officer candidates will learn roles and responsibilities of an RSO; Range Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); range inspection; range rules; range briefings; emergency procedures; and firearm stoppages and malfunctions. Each Range Safety Officer Candidate will receive an RSO Student Study Guide, a Basic Firearm Training Program brochure, an NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, an Instructor Application/Course Evaluation form.
NRA Range Safety Officers possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations indoors and outdoors.
The NRA developed its program in response to the demand for a nationally-recognized Range Safety Officer (“RSO”) certification. Our class and the certification should be especially valuable to firearms instructors including CHP instructors.
In review, If you do not have any current credentials, you will need the RSO(8/26/18), BIT(9/22/18), and CRSO(9/23/18) course to become a CRSO. If you are currently an instructor and you have had your BIT within the past 2 years, you can skip the BIT on 9/22/18. If you are a current RSO and you have not completed the BIT in the past 2 years you will only need the 9/22/18 BIT and the 9/23/18 CRSO course.
