Cool. Get us some class AARs posted up. Talk from your students. Lets hear about it.
Ahh...I forgot, everything must be validated through the INGO police.

What makes you think I don't already? Merely because I don't advertise here, or because I don't try to make a profit from it? There are plenty of people here who do, so why should I bother when my interest isn't in making money from it?
I'm currently too focused on my own training to work with other folks. When I'm all washed up and can't compete anymore, I may take on a project like that.
Nice.
So that's what you are calling the instructors on here? "washed up" ?
How much do you pay for training if you don't mind me asking?
Sounds like the1kidd03 and CB45 need to get together and start running basic gun handling classes...
Lets go gents, time to put your money where your mouth is...
...after I verify you can walk the walk...
For the record I like money and profit!
But sitting here thinking of affordable training in SouthEast IN
1) Hoosier Hills offers handgun training. $50 for members and $70 for non members. The instructor is excellent.
2) Seymour PD offers a free course. I have not taken it but Mrs.VERT plans to when they offer it again.
3) Columbus PD offers a $25 class. They do an excellent job.
4) On Target in Sellersburg offers PCC1 for $75. Latewatch on INGO. Excellent
5) SV40SW45 is a Grandmaster in USPSA. Local, one on one. He charged me $100. I should go see him again. Well worth the money.
6) Sand Creek Conservation Club offers free hunters ed and should be moving forward with a chapter of the well armed women.
7) I posted up earlier NRA Personal Protection in the Home for $100 or $150 per couple.
Do you have actual classes, or do you go out with someone who is new to shooting to teach them? Big difference.
I agree with bwframe, if there is so much money to be had, then why not reap the rewards? Sounds like trainers are making a killing.
I checked the NRA website and I could not find any classes below $100 with most ranging $120-150. I'm sure there is an exception where there is a good hearted instructor who is only charging $50, but I didn't come across it in my quick search. I would have to assume that people are paying that much and the instructors are making money. To that I say good for them. It's a business and they should be making money to make their time worth it. ( Evil capitalists!!!) Not everyone can or will be a philanthropist like yourself. If you can offer a class at a very low price and not expect to make any money, then good for you too.
When we are done complaining about the cost of training can we move on to complaining about the cost of other things? Maybe that ammo is too expensive, black guns are too expensive, flashlights.....
Anyone else into photography? Probably not, because it is too expensive. Anyhow, here is 8 hours of class for a "basic" photography class that is "economically" priced. Indy Photo Coach Fundamentals of Photography Class Gotta wonder how much the shutter bugs are complaining.
Sorry for the thread jack.... just trying to have fun!
Unfortunately (or fortunately), the "shutter bugs" aren't at risk of losing their "shutters" because people buy them without knowing anything and pose risk of harm to others with them. Hence, why basic training is so important for everyone to have....but.....apparently, only if you can afford it.When we are done complaining about the cost of training can we move on to complaining about the cost of other things?

I have an idea. If you don't like the price of the class, don't register for the class. Problem solved. :-)
Something I have ALWAYS wanted to see in an INGO classifieds ad:
"Must sell gun to afford a training class"

What if I don't have any extra guns to sell?
