- Be 18 years or older
- Have been a Level II instructor for a minimum of 3 years
- Must have taught and documented a minimum of 1,500 hours of paid instruction as a Level II (unpaid instruction may be considered, must be documented and may be accepted in lieu of paid hours by exception only by the NSCAs Instructor Certification Committee)

The Cost
In addition to the $1,500 registration fee for the 4-day course which is submitted along with the application form to NSCA Headquarters, each applicant is responsible for bringing his/her own gun and approximately 250 shells. Students are also accountable for target fees of the host club and a percentage of the examiner’s/certifying instructor’s expenses. (This will vary depending on the number of students in each course and the amount of travel required for the examiner/certifying instructor.)
