I would like to just let people know about the upcoming USCCA Instructor Class coming up in Maple Grove December 6-8. I am not connected to USCCA but I did take the class this weekend and really feel like it is worth it as an instructor. They don't push products other than Michael's book and PowerPoint and its not a sales pitch, it's how to utilize it to it's full potential. The biggest things I took from this class is the marketing tips and strategies and other tools to help run a small business. And the added benefit is you are certified to teach more states if you want to. The NRA is great when it comes to education but I honestly think that USCCA is going above what the NRA can do and is offering continuing support for the Certified Instructors. This is from the website for the Instructor Certification https://www.usccainstructors.com/uscca- ... cation.asp
