This is a basic firearms safety training course. It is designed to give the student a working knowledge of safe firearms handling and familiarity with the laws and procedures regarding firearms ownership in Canada. Following the firearms training even complete novices should have no problem passing the required examinations.
The course is designed so that those who have never handled guns will gain a good understanding of the subject. Students who have experience find the course to be a great refresher, and excellent preparation for the Canadian Firearms Safety Examination.
There are actually two separate courses - one for non-restricted and the other for restricted firearms. The two courses can be run in one continuous session. Those not interested in "restricted" firearms would be finished after the first 8 hours of training; the others would continue for 6 more hours.
This is a classroom training course . There is however, ample opportunity to handle various kinds of rifles, shotguns and handguns.
