When this is held at ESS sign me up.

Are there any prerequisite classes to attend this one?  Would this be suitable for someone new to the AR platform?

Thanks in advance.

Based upon the zillions of carbine classes I have attended (and looking at the course of instruction), this course sounds like a good fit for you.

EDIT to add:

The OP states carbine must be zeroed prior to class. Go to the range (NRA, ESS, wherever) and zero your rifle
for a 50 yard point of aim/point of impact zero (target is at 50 yards and rounds impact at the aiming point).

The equipment list is minimal: rifle, sling, some mags, a couple of belt-mounted mag carriers, and you are good to go.

Don't focus on gear, focus on getting knowledge about your carbine and basic carbine fundamentals.

Thanks for the insight.  I just signed up and re-zeroed yesterday at NRA.  Not new to rifles, just new to AR's.  

I'll probably pick up a decent chest rig, as I plan to take more carbine courses in the future.

Looking forward to learning..
