I got my NRA Instructor Basic Pistol qual a few years ago, but I never pursued training others because a) the market in the Phoenix, Arizona area was super-saturated with firearms trainers and b) a year after I got my qual, Az went to Constitutional Carry and demand for the CCW's went thru the floor.
However, it turns out that there are very few CCW trainers in my corner of Missouri, so I thinking about hanging out my shingle and start teaching defensive pistol.
But.
I'd like to have some more training in firearms instruction than what just came with my NRA class. I've had decent level of training (about 200+ hours as I write this), but only 12 hours of that was how to train others. I'm considering either learning from either Gabe Suarez or Rob Pincus because I like the stuff they're teaching, but what other schools are out there that will teach firearms training but don't involve taking 4 years of advanced-level classes first?
