We Are Hiring

NRA and State of Tennessee Certified Firearms Instructor

$23.33 per hour to $70.00 per hour (based on the number of students in attendance)

​

Frontier Firearms USA is motivated to provide the easiest and best customer service in the USA.  We believe every member of our team contributes to our success, and every single customer should have a great experience at our stores to have an opportunity to make a big difference in our mission.

We are looking to sign on NRA-certified instructor Contractors capable of teaching our Basic Handgun Safety/Concealed Weapons License Class (not the NRA version, but the very popular class we have developed), the Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit classes, and private instruction.

We usually hold our four-hour classes on Saturday mornings and afternoons, weekday afternoons or evenings, and Sunday afternoons.  We also teach the eight-hour Tennessee Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit course.

Contractor Firearms Instructors usually teach two monthly classes but may teach more if desired.

Depending upon class size (students attending), pay is $23.33 per hour to $70.00 per hour (based on the number of students in attendance).

​

Naturally, promoting the classes results in more students attending, which in turn results in more pay for the instructor.  Our four-hour classes currently cap out at ten students each, and our Enhanced Carry Permit classes cap out at 35.
