Concealed Handgun Instructor Certification
The requirements for eligibility to become a concealed carry handgun instructor are outlined in the North Carolina Administrative Code:
12 NCAC 09F:
Once eligible for consideration, the prospective instructor must do the following:
-
-
attach a copy of the actual instructor certification certificate from the Commission or the NRA;
-
attach a copy of the certificate showing successful completion of the course "Laws Governing Concealed Handgun and Use of Deadly Force;"
-
attach a copy of the course material the prospective instructor intends to teach or the course outline for prior approved courses; and
-
include the application fee of $50.00 in the form of a certified check.
If the prospective instructor wishes to order student certificates immediately, he or she should indicate the number of certificates on the application form and include payment in the form of a certified check.
The Commission, through the Criminal Justice Standards Division of the North Carolina Department of Justice, will review the qualifications submitted by the prospective instructor and review the course material. The Criminal Justice Standards Division will mail the prospective instructor a certification letter once certification as an instructor and approval of the submitted course material is completed.
Instructors are required by law to renew their instructor certifications and their course materials annually. Instructors must:
-
-
attach a copy of the current instructor certification from the Commission or the NRA;
-
attach a copy of the course material used in teaching the class or a copy of the outline if no changes have been made to the material since the material was approved; and
-
include the $50.00 renewal fee in the form of a certified check.
The Criminal Justice Standards Division will mail the instructor an approval letter once the renewal process is completed.
