Courses of this type are organized by the Polish Sports Shooting Association and the National Defense League. They authorize the person to be a safety officer, which in turn is needed to work at each shooting range \u2013 right next to the ID \u201cPerson authorized to be in possesion the gun\u201d (not to be confused with the ID of the gun owner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many shooting ranges also require this course when we want to let a person without any qualifications shoot with our weapons. So anyway, it\u2019s worth having that one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-1024x768.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-25048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20768%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-25048 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20768%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4.jpg 1632w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins4-1024x768.jpg\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shooting instructor course \u2013 is it worth it?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this question is as usual \u2013 it depends. If you want to take such a course only to be able to show off your ID \u2013 then no. If you are looking for additional formal qualifications in the shooting industry \u2013 neither, because the shooting instructor course really does nothing in this matter. Maybe apart from a valuable position in the CV, which makes it easier to find a job in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are looking for a source of valuable information, systematizing knowledge in the field of shooting and ways to transfer this knowledge as efficiently as possible to people starting their adventure \u2013 then by all means, the sport shooting instructor course is something for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the correlation between the range safety officer and the shooting instructor? None, these are two completely different courses, of which the safety officer course gives qualifications and the instructor course gives extensive knowledge. The problem is that being a shooting instructor without a safety officer\u2019s license misses the point. Because what kind of shooting instructor is this who cannot conduct shooting classes?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-1024x578.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-25049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1.jpg 1070w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20578%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-25049 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20578%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1.jpg 1070w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ins1-1024x578.jpg\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat shooting instructor&#8217;s course.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, once again, you need to ask yourself the question \u2013 for what purpose do you want to be able to use such a title? If only to tickle your ego or show off to your friends \u2013 go ahead. If, on the other hand, there\u2019s supposed to be some real knowledge behind it and the ways of transmitting it, you have to start differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you have to REALLY know how to shoot, move and work in a group. Secondly, you need to be able to convey this knowledge in a clear and justified way. Third, it will likely require tens of thousands of rounds fired thoughtfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be able to shoot this ammunition in a deliberate manner, you must acquire knowledge how to do it. And this knowledge is acquired during specialized courses conducted by proven training companies, employing or conducted by former special forces soldiers. There are also civilian-run companies with no service experience, and their courses can be just as valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing a series of courses, taking part and achieving satisfactory results in \u201ctactical\u201d competitions and hundreds of hours of practice, such a combat training instructor course may not be necessary at all. Unless we want another ID card in a red cover. It is also necessary to check who issues this ID card and whether the course giving such a title really brings to our lives outside of ID itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-25050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"444\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20444%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-25050 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20444%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1-300x167.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shootingcracow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/majura_shooting-800x444-1.jpg\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, instructor courses can be very valuable for a variety of reasons.
