Been an apprentice instructor for 4 years for our trappers ed but can't seem to get a straight answer to how to become a full fledged instructor. I will probably just need to do the apprenticeship once more lol
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Certified for both but only teach Trappers Ed. When I got certified, we had to get certified do the Hunters Ed part before you could get certified to do Trappers Ed. We finally got that changed so now we can get certified for Trappers Ed only but still have to do the computer part to set up and report results for the state wildlife folks. The state wildlife folks provide all the handouts and issues the certifications and maintains the records based on our input.

I've been teaching firearms safety for around 20 years. Every session I do a class on trapping. I bring a bunch of different types of traps, scents, and show a video on the myths about the foot hold trap. My class on trapping sparks a higher interest than the firearm classes do. My trapping session always runs over my 1 hour allotted time because of all the questions I usually get.
We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

I went the 4-H route , I instruct Rifle , Pistol , Muzzleloader's and shotgun.
I helped with a hunters ed class , I appreciate the guys/gals who do it , my focus is on teaching them to shoot and reinforcing the hunters Ed curriculum all of our powder burning disciplines require they take hunters ed. our sheriffs department was holding hunters ed classes till covid
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
