Excellent, thank you!

Solomon's approach presumes/necessitates repeated, frequent contact with the students. This works fine for an institutional setting or working with a neighbor or friend, but it isn't feasible as a workable model for one-time students.
The NRA certifications are of little practical value. They do have marketing value in that some states recognize them for carry licenses/permits.
You will probably need an instructor certification to get liability insurance.
I can't speak directly about the USCCA certifications, but based on indirect evidence, I would rate them similarly to the NRA value.
Rangemaster is the tops for actually preparing students to walk about armed. As you already have experience with CSAT, completing their instructor course would also be a consideration.
Thanks for your response. Good things to consider.
When I did the CSAT courses I was living in Dallas, so CSAT was about 4 hrs away but yes I would love to do their pistol and carbine instructors courses!
But alas, shit happens when one leasts expects it, as they say, and my plans for taking an instructors course will have to wait until I rehab my right shoulder. I recently had surgery to repair a high grade shoulder separation that I got this early January after going over the handle bars of a ski bike while going down a slope. I hit an ice patch and ooopsies..
So I’ll have 3-4 months most likely to think about what course I’ll end up taking... I wonder how much more expensive ammo and gas will be by that point, yikes!
Thanks again y’all for the great tips.
