I apologize if I’m offering you specifically unsolicited advice, this is really just a general answer to your question. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me and I’m very happy to talk to you in a more specific sense if you’re an SRO for a leftist range or if you’re interested in becoming one.
This is a great resource for talking to other leftists about self defense and to help them navigate what they feel they can do, or what they feel they need.
As far as training, there are tons of great drills for beginners, the first course I usually teach doesn’t include any live ammo, just some pop cap training ammo. First we go over gun safety basics, the muzzle, never to point, where the index finger goes, what a good grip is, what a good stance is, how to use the iron sights, how to use the optic, then after that. I go over the manual of arms of whatever weapon they’re training on, usually one of mine in 9mm or 5.56. That’s usually the first day. Then I ask them what they want to train on the next time they come and to please bring a box of whatever ammo they’re looking to train with. That’s really just to gauge interest as I almost always send them home with that ammo and help them work out a plan to get a firearm.
I usually send them this article to check out before they come to the range. https://liberalwithagun.com/what-to-expect-at-the-gun-range-as-a-first-time-shooter-liberal-friendly-guide/
Do you have any good guides on this? One of the things I have seen with new shooters is adjusting to the sound of the gun itself is its own barrier.

As far as drills go once they understand what a weapon is and I’m confident they’re not gonna perforate me? These guys are chuds, but it’s a good course of fire https://www.pewpewtactical.com/low-round-count-drills/
