Hi Guys!
I'm a certified firearms instructer in SC an am considering teaching the CCW course. The state requires that I submit a lesson plan with the submission fee. I've never written a lesson plan before "Do any of the members here have an example that I could use as a basis?"
Thanks!

A lesson plan is essentially an outline of what you will be discussing. Break you class down for them by topic and give a brief description of what you will be discussing for each topic. Make sure the class material will cover the time required by your state.

In Missouri is was four hours class and four hours range, I believe.

Also google "lesson plan" you will get a ton of stuff.

Oh, welcome to the forum!

Insert your personal/learned techniques/life experience into this general blue print and you'd have something fairly similar to the course I took. Ive heard of some really bad instructors out there who talk big about shooting first and asking questions later. I would personally really pound the CCW laws of the State and land into the course, beginning and end. This same instructor also threw around racial slurs for the amusement of the class. Incredibly unprofessional in my opinion, if not downright wrong.

Good luck, and may you bring good education, techniques, morality, and luck to your future students!
 
...I am the one and only CCW holding armed liberal.
JAV68, not entirely correct here on this forum: We have Glypner and Gatorfarmer as perhaps our most recognized libs, tho the latter has been exhibiting libertarian tendencies of late. I tend to be AC/DC, depending on the issue, m'self.

That's a good course outline, I think.

I am doing the 3rd renewal of my CCW Saturday so have the schedule here:
1 hr handgun nomenclature and safe handling
1 hr instruction on ammo knowledge and fundamentals of shooting
3 hrs instruction on use of deadly force and conflict resolution and laws pertaining to deadly force
1 hr handgun shooting position
1 hr on child access prevention
2 hrs firing and cleaning firearms; 12 rds each @6, 10, and 15 feet
safe reload at each distance.

If your certified by the NRA then all you have to do is order a lesson plan. That is what I use for the basic firearms portion of my classes. Then for the CCW part I use the state booklet.
