Classroom in the morning, practical after lunch. Test on the second day, not too hard.
Careful now/that sort of thing

Re: NRA RCO Course.
You must read the book and be familiar with its contents, the course is more difficult if you haven't/aren't, also it raises things you may not understand so that you can be sure to have them answered on the course.
Read the book!
Make notes.

I done the course a couple of weeks ago. The test was on the first day, it is easy though if you've been shooting for a while and been helping your RCO.

Re: NRA RCO Course.
As I said read the book and take it all in - not just flick through it
If I were the trainer and you hadn't read it I would send you home!!!
And yes I am an RCO trainer/assessor

Definitely read the book. I borrowed a copy before I got mine to go through it thoroughly, it seriously does help, especially when you're talking about danger zones and mils to know them.dromia wrote:You must read the book and be familiar with its contents, the course is more difficult if you haven't/aren't, also it raises things you may not understand so that you can be sure to have them answered on the course.

This would have been great info for me when I went as I had no Pen or paper with me, I had to go to sainsburys to fetch these. would have been better if I had known. Take pen and paper. (Y)Blackstuff wrote:Also be prepared to write a range brief
Good luck
It's not hard and the trainers in the classroom are there to help, so if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask.
have fun! :)
