This course runs over 2 days and has 12 places available. All equipment will be provided by the Activity Centre or the trainer, so all you need to bring is a packed lunch and a water bottle. Teas and coffees will be provided.

The NSRA (National Small-Bore Rifle Association) runs its Youth Proficiency Scheme (YPS Tutor) course, which is designed to teach the skills and knowledge required to safely run a range with the use of air rifles, as well as helping to give you the skills to coach the basics of this target sport.

Those who successfully complete the course will receive an NGB certificate, which equips candidates to run have-a-go sessions in air rifle shooting and also to take young people for introduction to shooting over a longer period (as in Scouts or other uniformed groups). It is the standard qualification used by members of the British Activity Holiday Association (BAHA) and is also written into Scouts’ Policy, Organisation and Rules (PORs).

Please register your interest in the course with our administration team who will add you to the waiting list. Book early to avoid disappointment.
