Could be a fun day at H2R for $75, and get you signed off for instructing.
Registration is up: http://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1151
I've instructed with NASA but not as a certified goober. I might sign up just to get that signed off + some cheap track time in the Mustang.

NASA Texas will be holding it's first Instructor Clinic of the season!!!! Saturday January 15th at Harris Hill Road (H2R).

San Marcos, TX (Near Austin)
Who: The NASA Instructor Clinic is open to any advanced driver (HDPE4 equivalent, TT or racer) who would like to learn what it is like and what it takes to become a NASA certified instructor. You do not need to be a current NASA member to attend and we often see instructors from other organizations attending to "keep on top of their game".
The Clinic is also open to any current NASA instructor as you will likely learn something new every time and you will be looked upon to help coach the new candidates.
What Happens: The NASA Instructor Clinic is a one day format and is split between in-classroom and on-track sessions. On-track sessions involve role-playing scenarios as well as just some time to just drive. In classroom sessions cover coaching techniques, dealing with unique situations, personal interactions with HPDE students and theory on why we teach what we do in the NASA HPDE program.
What you need to bring: A car suitable to use on track for scenarios (a normal street car with passenger seat), a helmet and a desire to learn.
What happens after all that: After completing the NASA Instructor Clinic, you will decide along with the NASA Chief Instructor and HPDE Group Leaders if NASA is a good match or not. Instructing with NASA is not for everyone, but this clinic will help you decide if it's something that you would enjoy or not. Likewise, the clinic gives the NASA staff some time to evaluate you as a potential instructor for us. If you pass and are invited on board to Instruct with NASA you'll be invited to come out to events and participate as a Provisional Instructor. After a couple of events with positive feedback from your HPDE students and you'll become a certified NASA Instructor with all the full benefits.
Who runs the Instructor Clinic: The Chief Instructor and crew of HPDE group leaders are your hosts for the day. For the first clinic, we will have help from some of the HPDE staff from NASA Rocky Mountain. Over the past 4 years, they've hosted half-dozen clinics, attended coaching seminars and graduated dozens on new instructor candidates.
More details to follow (i.e. any costs, times, etc)......
