SUMMARY:CSA - Gateway Instruction Certification Course
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nThis course teaches experienced shooters how t
 o teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of "gat
 eway instruction" developed by Citizens Safety Academy.\nCourse Details\nT
 here are many instructor certification courses available\, but most suffer
  from at least one of three common shortcomings. First\, they often spend 
 too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Se
 cond\, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without en
 ough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new\,
  first-time shooters. Third\, many instructor courses tend to ignore the c
 ultural and demographic dynamics of today's market of firearms trainees.\n
 \nWith the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites\, millennials\, 
 trauma victims\, and others who don't fit the traditional stereotypes of g
 un ownership\, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st C
 entury market. CSA developed what we call the "gateway" instructional mode
 l in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.\n\nInstructor
  candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills 
 via participation in practical exercises during the course (including lead
 ing a line of live-fire shooters through a course of fire). Candidates wil
 l also have to pass an instructor certification examination and a shooting
  qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor's Gu
 ide that participants can take home with them for future reference.\n\n&nb
