Deadra Nealy
And that would make a nice email message to be sent to all instructors by DPS. It would surely save them a lot of time compared to answering questions individually.
It would be nice if they explained what they plan to do with those that responded to their "error". Are they going to refund our payment? Just wait until the proper time? Keep the money and force us to pay again? ???

Seems you need to call Deadra to find out...

And do we know anything about renewals? We have our NRA instructor certs, but know others that do not. Will this be required for renewal?

Thanks, SJF. Although I do have my NRA instructor certs, I know many don't. And, since they never required this before, I can't see it suddenly being a requirement now.

Interesting side note - Utah, which has a much less stringent training requirement for students, DOES require instructors to have NRA Basic Pistol Instructor or POST certification.

Not a lecture - just an observation.

Good luck to you in your process.

You are correct. Moved to "Instructors Corner"

So, are you saying you completed the form on the customer service site, and they directed you back to the forms download page?

Yes, you seriously do

2) What is the CHL-90 form that is on the checklist of items to send in? I've searched online and all the applicable links that direct me back to a state website say that the "CHL-90 form is currently being updated." And that's it. Nothing else at all.

It actually says: "The Concealed Handgun License (CHL) form for Instructor Applicants Only is being updated. Please visit Customer Service, select “Concealed Handgun” and complete the form indicating that you need an instructor’s application." Did you try that?

3) When is the next course? There is zero information on any state-supported website I've been able to locate.
I've also tried emailing them twice with these questions, to no avail whatsoever. After that, I tried calling. The experience on that front was frustrating to say the least. After waiting on the automated system for 10 and 15 minutes respectively, I finally heard ringing and then the call was disconnected.

After you submit the application, they will let you know when the next class is. Typically, they do about 4 a year. If you are lucky, you will get a couple of months notice before the class.

I'm redheaded and am getting increasingly frustrated. I don't want to miss the next course if it's true that they only do this once/year. And if THAT is true, we need to know when that is in order to take off work, etc.

Help please?!?!

If you want to be an instructor, you should consider cooling off that redhead. Dealing with DPS can be frustrating. Dealing with armed students can sometimes be more so. Are you really sure this is what you want to do?
