Combined Course (CFSC & CRFSC)
This Canadian Firearms Safety Course bundles both the Non-Restricted and Restricted courses into one weekend. This bundle offers more comprehensive training in firearms safety at a reduced overall length as well as significant overall course cost savings.
Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC)
This Canadian Firearms Safety Course (PAL course) teaches safe handling, transportation, and storage of Non-Restricted firearms (rifles and shotguns typically used for hunting and target shooting). A pre-requisite for the CRFSC (Restricted) RPAL Course.
Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC)
This Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (RPAL course) teaches safe handling, transportation, and storage of Restricted firearms which are limited to use in target shooting, collecting or for professional use.
Considerations Prior to Registering: It is important to understand the implications of enrolling in a Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) as a Standalone course. Once you have completed the CFSC Standalone, it can be very challenging to find a Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) offered on its own at a later date. We recommend that you take the Combo course to get your CRFSC to reduce delays, cost, training time, and frustration.
