My NRA basic pistol instructor credentials expire next month. Do I actually need to renew to be able to certify someone. I don’t teach very often anymore and my sister in law wants to get her permit but our schedules won’t align so I will be able to give her a proper class for another month or so. I don’t see any particulars on it being required for an instructor to have any real certification.

If you don't renew, you can't legally teach a CHL class in Ohio.

ORC 2923.125 says:
(3) One or more of the following competency certifications, each of which shall reflect that, regarding a certification described in division (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), (e), or (f) of this section, within the three years immediately preceding the application the applicant has performed that to which the competency certification relates and that, regarding a certification described in division (B)(3)(d) of this section, the applicant currently is an active or reserve member of the armed forces of the United States or within the ten years immediately preceding the application the honorable discharge or retirement to which the competency certification relates occurred:
...

You don't need to take a class to renew, just pay the NRA. Go to your instructor portal and you should be able to pay the renewal fee there if I recall correctly.

Body of the email I just received

“The grace period for renewal isn't on the training per se, it is on the certifications themselves. If the person wishes to reinstate credentials, but the grace period is up, he or she will have to redo the training. This does now include basic and instructor training.
I hope that this answers your question. “
