how "accelerated" is this course? My permit class a few years ago took 6 hours. I know of a guy that does one on one courses that take 3 hours.

Ed, Your course may be faster than the courses given by other NRA certified instructors, however as far as cost goes you are in the same ballpark.
The costs at the end of your video say group rates. It seems that the actual 50+35+10 = 95. Also there is no explanation of the 35 fee in there. 50 for the course and 10 for the certificate. Being a shooter I would assume the 35 is the range fees?

As stated, the course length is dependant upon the knowledge of each individual. As an instructor, I don't believe students should have to learn what they already know.

As the author of the course and the instructor responsible for certifying an individual, I will determine when the student is prepared to be certified.

If I go through the course materials which could take as little as30 and 60 minutes, and the individual comprehendsthe material presented, then it will take 30 to 60 minutes to complete the classroom portion. If the individual fails to grasp what has been presented or has questions that take longer to explain, then it will take longer.

Firearm safety and the ability to find and understand firearms laws will be a priority.

Live fire and the safe handling of a pistol or revolver is totally seperate from the classroom style instruction.

For more specifics, send an email with specific quesitons.

My approved course of instruction is NOT an NRA course.

You are correct, the 35 dollar fee for live fire may be used towards conducting the live fire at an establishedrange. I'll have to edit the video clip to be more accurate.

If necessary, live fire could take place at a range, but please be aware of the fact that myapproved course of instruction does not require that the live fire take place at a range. There are places in Central Connecticut where it is permissible to legally and safely discharge a pistol or revolver to complete the live fire requirementsof my course.

The 10 dollar fee for the initial letter of certification or a duplicate is based in part on the overall cost of the course.

No excuses, I am not teaching an NRA course of instruction, and am not going to waste the time of any individual who has most of the information necessary to obtain certification for a permit.

For specifics beyond what you have asked, send an email.

I am aware that it will not be the NRA course. We talked at the last CCDL meeting.
I am Lenny. I was just commenting on your video. Very good job! See you at the next meeting.
