The training provided in the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) prepares students with beginner level knowledge on the responsibilities of possessing and using non-restricted firearms, their safe use and handling as well as storage of firearms and ammunition.

The course takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete not including the written and practical test.

First-time licence applicants must pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course before applying for a PAL.

After the in-class instruction, you will do a written and practical test.

Anyone 12 years or older can take the course. Children under 12 can take the course, but only for educational purposes. They will not do the written or practical exams. To get a Minors Licence to borrow and use non-restricted firearms, the minor must be between 12 and 17 years old.
