I took the standard NRA courses and became an instructor (pistol, rifle, blackpowder, home defense) and figured I had it going on. Then one day I saw some videos of people in a civilian training course and realized I didn't know snot.

Insights
General Defensive Handgun
General Defensice Rifle
http://www.insightstraining.com/en_u...p?categoryID=4

FAS
Advanced Defensive Handgun
Tactical Handgun
Precision Rifle
Handgun Retention
http://www.firearmsacademy.com/default.htm

Got NRA certified as a range officer to do it at my club.
This is more of a formality than any real learning for someone who has already run a range for a while.

This fall: Precision Rifle 2 & Tactical First Aid
Next year: Tactical Scenarios

These classes are great but they aren't like being in any kind of combat of course.
