This registration is for the Instructor-Led Training version.

This course is a comprehensive training program designed to teach participants the fundamentals of pistol shooting in a safe and effective manner. It is aimed at beginners and those looking to improve their shooting skills. The course covers various topics, both theoretical and practical, and is structured to ensure that participants gain a solid understanding of firearm safety, operation, and shooting techniques.

This course is offered in two versions; the traditional Instructor-Led version (for those who prefer to conduct the training in-person with an instructor), or a Blended Learning version (e-learning at home, plus a follow-on range session with an instructor). Both cover the same material, and you can sign up for whichever version fits your individual learning style.
