LEARN ABOUT OUR TRAINING 

One of the most common questions people ask when starting a Centershot® Ministry is, “How do we get trained?”

Training Aaron structures is extremely important to the long-term safety and success of your Centershot® ministry. Centershot® uses the same training protocol as National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).

We have four training options for you to choose from. The NASP®/Centershot® Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) certification cost is $80 per student for each of the training options.

1. Traditional In-person Training 

A single-day class, lasting eight hours (usually on a Saturday from 8am-4pm). BAI Classes are offered throughout the country. Go to naspbai.org, Class Schedule (View BAI classes in your area) to register for a class in your area.

2. Hybrid training with In-person Field Day

The hybrid option combines on-line learning and testing (4 hours) with an in-person field day (4 hours). Go to naspbai.org, Class Schedule (View BAI classes in your area) to register for a class in your area.

3. Hybrid training with Virtual Field Day 

The hybrid option combines online learning (4 hours) and testing with a virtual field day (4 hours). The virtual field day requires a strong WIFI signal and each BAI candidate present at your home range while the instructor will connect via a zoom session from a remote range. This option is used when the other training options are not feasible, as there is no replacement for in person training.

4. On-site Training

For groups of 10 or more, we can arrange for on-site training. With an on-site training, the sponsoring organization is responsible for covering the trainers travel and lodging expenses and will require you to have your equipment ordered and on site for the training.
