Firearm Competency Training

The Shooting Range offers comprehensive firearm training designed to guide you through every step of responsible firearm ownership. The first step is to complete your proficiency training, which prepares you to use firearms safely and legally.

You must complete Knowledge of the Law (a compulsory course), along with the categories of firearms you plan to use or apply for.

 

Proficiency Training in 4 Easy Steps

  1. Register at our office
    Bring your ID and payment. Registration is by appointment only
  2. Self-study.
    Next, you will complete a 50-question open-book test in your own time for each course.
  3. Attend class.
    After that, you will write a 25-question closed-book assessment and take part in a practical shooting evaluation.
  4. Receive your certificates.
    Once you pass your theory and practical assessments, you will receive your Proficiency Certificate and Statement of Results, which you need for your SAPS competency application.

Afterwards, when SAPS approves your competency, you can begin the firearm licence application process.
