what can I expect on the abbreviated course pre test?

[prossound]

not looking for the answers I just like to be prepared. also my application has the older documents do I need to print and fill out the newer docs befor sending the completed app in? a little background that may help you answer these questions better. I am an NRA pistol instructor and did the instructor app online in early 2010.

What's a "pre test"?

[prossound]

I was told there was test that had to be passed to be eligible to take the shorter instructor class. if you are unable to pass the test you are automatically moved to the 36 hour class. is my information incorrect?

[sjfcontrol]

It's news to me, but then I didn't qualify for the abbreviated course. My understanding is that the short course just eliminates the "how to teach" subject(s), for those who already have teaching training/experience. Perhaps someone who's taken the short course could say for sure.

I did the abbreviated course in 2010 DPS accepted my NRA instructor credentials without a test.

here is what I read that led me to ask this question

(d) An applicant for the abbreviated instructor training course will be required to take a pretest to demonstrate both handgun knowledge and proficiency. The applicant will be given one opportunity to pass the pretest. To qualify for the abbreviated course, the instructor applicant must achieve the following score:

(1) a minimum score of 70% on written pretest; and

(2) a minimum score of 90% on proficiency with both a semi-automatic and non semi-automatic handgun.

(e) An applicant for the abbreviated instructor training course who fails to qualify on either the written or proficiency pretest for the abbreviated course of instruction will not be permitted to attend the training course, but will be given preference for an opportunity to attend the normal course of instruction within six months.

Where did you get that from? Sounds like the regular class to me.

it was copied from the CHL Administrative Rules that a link was just posted for. there was also a mention of it in my application.
