Re: RCO courses
Read the booklet that they sent you then read it again then read it again get my drift everything you need to know is in there.
Dont get to wound up about it the instructor is a shooter he wants you to pass.

Re: RCO courses
As a trainer assessor I can ASSURE you that you need to have read, understood and remembered the booklet.
Pay particular attention to safety as the test allows no errors.
It's not an easy course so don't f*** about asking daft questions - listen to what you are being told.
The assessor is your friend and wants to pass you - all it takes is for you to work with him. Act like a tit and you're history!
Hope it goes well.

Re: RCO courses
I really hope the booklet turns up soon then, I have looked on line for something but without luck so far.

Re: RCO courses
Read the book, make sure you understand it, read the book, remember its content, read the book, get someone to ask you questions from it, read the book, mark anything you are unsure about so that you can make sure its answered on the course, read the book.
Don't worry about the course, pay attention, listen, ask about anything that isn't clear, ask again if it still isn't clear the only stupid question is the one not asked, apply common sense and remember your are in charge on the range and it needs to feel and be seen that you are.
Above all enjoy it and then look forward to giving the NRA even more money for your badges.

Re: RCO courses
As Roger said (who put me through my RCO course - i think - RJ?) The only thing i would add, which i wasn't prepared for (
) was that you will be expected to write a range brief!
Good luck!

Good luck!
