Is the potential student base big enough to host existing instructors?
Independence Training, for instance, does all that. Several years ago I attended a @
SouthNarc ECQC that they hosted in Prescott / Chino Valley area. They regularly co-instruct with @
Cecil Burch.
@
AJZ also teaches in the Prescott / Prescott Valley area. I'm sure there are others. I'm not trying to talk you out of instructing, just making sure you are availing yourself of existing resources.
In my very limited experience working with new shooters, I find a lot of benefit to short 1-2 hour, low student count lessons that methodically work a couple specific things. It's a better way to learn a new skill than the typical two day class. It's also a niche that most full time instructors can't afford to work in, or rather most new students can't afford their $100-250/hr rates.
For instance, I'm working a co-worker now who had no previous experience.
The first range trip was for funzies and casual introduction. Then he decided to get serious.
The second trip we worked loading and unloading, introduced basic marksmanship fundamentals and hammered on The 4 Rules. I sent him home with some basic dry practice on those things.
The third trip, he demonstrated acceptable proficiency with those, so we introduced the 4 count draw from a OWB. We shot the TX LTC course of fire.
The fourth trip some time next week will include him demonstrating all of the above. We'll continue to fine tune.
There probably won't be a lesson five with me. I'll continue pushing him to pursue professional training as the opportunities come up.
I think there's something to be said for the well trained guy who's willing to do the unglamorous work of getting newbies ready for a comprehensive two day Combative Pistol / First Responder type class.
Additional resources to shape your potential future as an educator.
@FPF Training is running his excellent class in Phoenix in Feb. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's what a CHL class should be.
Active Self Protection and Citizen's Safety Academy are running some online (Zoom?) classes that are likely worth your while given your target demographic.
Claude Werner has a couple books, particularly
Common Mistakes Gun Owners Make.
