pfw4666 Posted September 7, 2018 at 03:09 AM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 03:09 AM Hello all, Last year I gave my wife Part One of the CCW training for her birthday. The business that she took her training from has recently informed her that if she does not complete Part Two within a year, she will have to re-take Part One. The class I signed her up for was listed as a NRA Basic Pistol Class/Part One of IL CCW. Her certificate says nothing of NRA Basic Pistol Class and the current schedule online says nothing about it being a Basic Pistol Class. I should also add that she has two months until the one year deadline. At this point, I do not think that she will pass the shooting portion. My questions are: 1. Can the training company set an expiration date on training?2. Can she tell them to shove it and find another instructor for Part Two? Thanks in advance, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock23 Posted September 7, 2018 at 11:58 AM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 11:58 AM 1. Their business, their rules.2. If her cert doesn't list something that qualifies as the first 8 hours of training, you'll likely be hard pressed to find another instructor willing to only provide their day 2 course and sign her off as complete.

InterestedBystander Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:15 PM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:15 PM My training was also NRA Basic pistol day 1, remaining curriculum day 2. I received NRA basic cert for day 1 and then IL CCL cert after day 2. As Glock23 mentioned above in #2, its probably going to depend on what is listed on that day 1 cert. If specific to that instructor, I dont think you will have much luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRApistol Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:20 PM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:20 PM If she signed up for NRA Basic Pistol and the instructor did not issue a NRA Certificate you need to go back to the instructor and ask for one. It will be much easier to find someone that will honor the Basic Pistol cert as part one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry 9595 Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:30 PM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:30 PM I think you are telling him he wrong way to go abou it. If she signed up for an 8 hour NRA Basic Pistol class and passed. The Instrucor must give her the certificate. If not, my call would be to the NRA Training Center...…..They take a dim view of Instructors screwing students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallbore Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:48 PM Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 02:48 PM Your wife might surprise you on her ability to hit that big gorilla b27 target.Her basic class should have had her shooting that well.If the business did not issue a NRA certificate then she may not have gotten an official class which should never happen. NRA cerified instructors are required to notify their students when the instructor is not doing a NRA sanctioned class. I give this notice in all my ccl courses.I can understand the business not wanting to keep track of one day students past a year.We issue our own one day completion certificate to those who shot well enough. A few do need more help later free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfw4666 Posted September 9, 2018 at 07:38 PM Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 at 07:38 PM I found her certificate of completion and it says: "For successful of the (gun shop name here) firearms training center 8 hour course in basic handgun knowledge, safety, nomenclature, marksmanship, attitude, and skills necessary for carrying and operating a handgun in a safe manner. Meets or exceeds training requirements for Illinois Day 1 concealed carry and Iowa permits." It is then signed by the instructor with her NRA Instructor number underneath.

It is then signed by the instructor with her NRA Instructor number underneath.If she signed it with her NRA number and advertised it as an NRA course she owes you an NRA Certificate. Would you send me a PM with her name, her NRA number and the shop name and the original ad if you have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
