CSA - Gateway Instruction Certification Course

Course Overview

This course teaches experienced shooters how to teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of "gateway instruction" developed by Citizens Safety Academy.

Course Details

There are many instructor certification courses available, but most suffer from at least one of three common shortcomings. First, they often spend too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Second, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without enough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new, first-time shooters. Third, many instructor courses tend to ignore the cultural and demographic dynamics of today's market of firearms trainees.

With the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites, millennials, trauma victims, and others who don't fit the traditional stereotypes of gun ownership, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st Century market. CSA developed what we call the "gateway" instructional model in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.

Instructor candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course (including leading a line of live-fire shooters through a course of fire). Candidates will also have to pass an instructor certification examination and a shooting qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor's Guide that participants can take home with them for future reference.
