THE MANUAL
It is strongly recommended that students read the Canadian Firearms Safety Course manual prior to attending the course, and to have a copy available during class, to get the most out of the experience. The course manual is also a terrific resource after taking the course to reinforce the material.
The most recent CFSC and CRFSC Student Handbook (as of 2025) can be downloaded for FREE (both courses are included in this manual) from the Government of Canada Publications website here:
http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2015/grc-rcmp/PS99-2-2-1-2014-eng.pdf
The above website is occassionally unavailable, the same most current manual can also be downloaded in .PDF format from this website by clicking on the “Download” button below:
Hard copies of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course student handbook may also be purchased in class for $21. Hard copies are strongly recomended. A hard copy allows students to follow-along in class, highlight important information, take notes, and to have as a resource before and after class & exams.
Ottawa Firearm Safety keeps hard copies of the most recent version of the CFSC manual (CFSC student handbook) in stock for sale in class. These are only available during course hours. If you would like to pick up a manual before your class, please contact us to arrange pick-up. This manual also includes the CRFSC materials. The $21 price includes HST taxes. If coming before before your class, please bring exact change to minimize interruption.
NOTE: Ottawa Firearm Safety does not make any profit on the sale of student handbooks. These are only offered in class as a service and courtesy. The cost of buying the manual in class is cheaper than the cost of printing a copy.
