Training Courses

The Shooting Edge will push you the limits with our vast selection of courses, programs and seminars. We provide tactical and small arms training for military, law enforcement, and select civilian personnel. With an indoor live-fire range, and large modern classrooms, The Shooting Edge is able to host and conduct a variety of specialized training programs.

The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) 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 CFSC 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. Very experienced gun owners who have taken the course comment, with some surprise, that they learned lots and enjoyed the course!

There are actually two separate courses - one for non-restricted and the other for restricted firearms. The Shooting Edge has combined the two courses to be run in one continuous session, eliminating about 4 hours of overlap from the agenda. Those not interested in "restricted" firearms would be finished after the first 10 hours of training; the others would continue for six more hours of the CRFSC.
