bigdudez25 Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:02 PM Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:02 PM An individual has taken the BPI course and is an NRA instructor. However, he has no interest in teaching ILCCW. Does the state differentiate between the BP and BPI course when determining credit for prior training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrodmike Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:35 PM Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:35 PM I believe that the BPI course will count as the full 16 hours. The one that I completed allows me to teach CC if I apply for certification through the state, although I am the same way I have no interest in teaching CC either.

Tango7 Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:48 PM Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 04:48 PM It counts, but applying using BPI is a multi-step process. You would submit prints and apply as an instructor and then once you were certified by the state you would apply for your FCCL as an instructor.

pdpsc Posted March 30, 2014 at 07:09 PM Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 07:09 PM Do what Tango7 said. Nothing requires you to actually teach if you get certified as an instructor. There are a few who are certified as an instructor who have no intention of teaching and just list a bogus email address or refer inquiries to other instructors who actually teach it.

Houndawg Posted March 30, 2014 at 07:13 PM Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 07:13 PM For what reason would someone want to get certified if they aren't going to teach? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk If you are already an NRA instructor, for the cost of fingerprints, a notarization and a stamp you can become an instructor. As an instructor you need not take a class to apply for your CCL. If you were going to apply with fingerprints anyway, it's a significant cost savings.

anonymous too Posted March 31, 2014 at 12:29 AM Share Posted March 31, 2014 at 12:29 AM With all of my instructor ratings and other courses I've got a total of 90'ish hrs or firearms training and unless I register with the ISP as an instructor it only counts as 8 hrs. I just won't register with the ISP at this time. So......I'd take 8 or more hrs of training, but the types of advanced training I'd choose wouldn't satisfy the requirements.

All that advanced training won't help and might in fact hinder you. In this state head shots count as a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDEESUL Posted March 31, 2014 at 03:19 AM Share Posted March 31, 2014 at 03:19 AM Did you receive a signed bp cert from the tc? If so, you can claim credit for the first 8 hours. Or apply as an il cci be exempt from the training requirement. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the guy I'm referring to did BPI a while back. He claims to still have the card from his tc. I just wasn't sure if I could accept BPI the same I could regular BP.

When you take BPI you are also taking BP.Student should get a BP completion certificate when taking BPI.It's included in the packet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJR Posted March 31, 2014 at 03:47 AM Share Posted March 31, 2014 at 03:47 AM You will not get 16 hours of credit. The only reason you get it when you apply to be an instructor is that you certify that you have read, understand and can teach all the required portions. Especially the law.Don't cheat yourself. If your not going to teach, you will may not read the law to the understanding you should, so take the class and just kick back and pay attention.

AlphaKoncepts aka CGS Posted March 31, 2014 at 02:02 PM Share Posted March 31, 2014 at 02:02 PM Either have your TC sign the BP certificate that you receive as part of your BPI training, or issue you your own certificate after you teach your first BP class. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have instructor ratings beyond Basic Pistol and a law library at my disposal, but my 90'ish hrs are only worth 8 since I won't register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
