    Anyone figure out what their price point is going to be for the 1hr instruction and range qualification?

    I plan to just charge my hourly 1 on1 instruction rate.

    Tempted to just charge what we charge for the whole class.........

    An hour of private instruction + qualification for 1 person at a time is not cost effective for the shop/range at anything less......

    Haven't decided yet........

    Online class is not going to get much love from in-person instructors haha. Kind of the same as the blended learning with NRA.

    I’m all for it. I’ll happily take their money for their qualification. The problem I see is it won’t be cost effective. Anyone who wants to pay double just so they can take the online class likes to spend money and I’m eager to help them.

    From what the....highly competent and well-engaged...ah..."instructors" at the CHL Instructor renewal class said (in multiple sessions, so at least they are consistent this time around) there will probably be NO online classes until at least 2018, because DPS has not even formed the exploratory committee to form the committee to build the tiger team to review the law and draft the DPS regulations driving the very concept of an online course.

    So...DPS has no idea how to do an online course. They are waiting for someone to submit an online course for review so they can try to get a handle on it.

    The only thing they could say for sure: If you have at least three (3) years of experience providing online instruction, experience working with government entities, and direct knowledge of handgun training, you may pay yet another hundred dollars and submit a course that is at least four and no more than six hours, administered via a secure web portal, provides the student with an LTC-101, submits an LTC-9 to DPS, and maintains records for six years...for their review.

    IDK, there is the online "defensive driving" classes, and those are about as informative and useful as my in person LTC class was. Took just as long. Maybe the Comedy Driving School could submit a Hilarious Handgun Class?

    Kind of what I thought. As far as I can remember, the law left it up to DPS to decide how to do it and did not specify a timeline.
    I was just curious. Had a few customers ask me and had no idea. All I could find was the forms to submit a request to DPS. Thanks.
