The course ran from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and the cost was $160 which was good seeing that previous students enjoyed the class and what they had learned. To register you just call ahead and see what class is open and if they are still taking in students so you can pay a head with a credit card or pay when you get there as they have a debit machine and credit cards too. I was blown away by the classroom setting as it felt like being in a sportsmans cabin with lots of trophies and firearms on the walls and lots of other neat items. The learning environment is awesome with Kent and Staurt giving their students confidence in the safe handling of firearms. In the classroom it is a very casual learning setting with encouragement to walk around and get up off their chairs and desks as opposed to sitting the entire day. There are cookies, coffee, tea, hot, chocolate, and cold drinks for everyone through out the day. For lunch everyone chips in $5 and they order pizza for the group for lunch time. The course is very informative and the instructors encourage asking questions and there is a lot of hands on with the firearms like the ones we used such as the pump shotgun, break action shotgun, bolt and lever action rule. Learning muzzle control, loading ammunition, storage, safety, and everything else I'm between. I enjoyed the humour and experience of our instructors as they made the class fun and allowing everyone to have extra time handling the firearms in needed. At the testing portion in the day everyone passed the written and hands on testing because everyone was confident at the end of the day. I enjoyed my day here learning and am signing up for more in the future.

I had wanted to take a firearms safety course for awhile…read more I wanted clarity on how to operate a gun & most of all how to be safe around them - guns. The time to learn about gun safety in my life was now. I'm older & wiser (I think) but most of all calmer about life. When I was a teen growing up in Africa, I had two uncles who were in the army & went on to become police officers. One of those uncles stayed with me (I had a large master bedroom with extra beds) & would often bring a cache of guns he would place under his bed. Knowing now what I know - I consider myself lucky I didn't accidentally fire off any of those guns I picked up - when he wasn't around! You name it I held it - semi automatics, RPGs, AK47s, etcetera ... honestly there was a Rambo assortment of weapons under that bed ... yikes! A coworker had taken Silvercores firearms safety course & highly recommended I sign up. I did sign up a few months ago & just recently completed the two day in person course. Heads up Alert - I'm going to share with you major, major tips so you can successfully pass this course to obtain your PAL (Possession & Acquisition Licence) which enables you to own & buy guns. You must score a minimum of 80% to pass the course.

You will have two in class quizzes, each consisting of 50 multiple choice questions. You will also have two practical in class tests. You will not be firing off any guns in this class. You can download the manual - 300 pages. Glance through it but don't memorize it. Mythbusters By taking the CFSC, you will not become The Accountant - an assassin - nor the Jackel (The Day of the Jackel 2024 - btw excellent British production) - super sniper - & be able to bring down targets 5 miles away. 007? - forget about it & leave that to James Bond on the big screen. Firearms are sold only to licenced PAL holders in Canada. Firearms in Canada are used solely for hunting or target practice at the gun range. Canada does not have the infamous 'Castle' rule ala Texas. Makes for an interesting scenario - if Dahmer breaks into your home & starts ticking off your loved ones, one by one, do you approach him with a butter knife!? Most of the 'big, black, scary' guns (semi automatics) are banned in Canada. Come to class relaxed & ready to learn everything - gun safety. When answering the quizzes, think gun safety first. Funny story - my brother got tripped up on a question - are you allowed to fire bullets at a stop sign? His mind was like - yeah, if it's in my backyard! LOL. The answer is - nope. No picture taking or recording allowed in class. There is a Subway a 100 metres from here (Delta location) for lunch or bring your own. Silvercore has leading industry training by highly experienced firearms instructors. Our class instructor Ken, was A+ in his instruction, pace & style of teaching. His wealth of knowledge re gun safety was second to none. I got more out of this class than I ever thought I could.

I was the only woman in the course and the oldest student, and I was made to feel welcome, supportive, and encouraged. I found the instructor to be professional, engaging, and informative. I have only handled a firearm (All long guns) on three occasions and prior to These courses, I had little knowledge of firearms in general, or the laws in Governing them in Canada. I learned a great deal about both nonrestricted (long-guns) and restricted (hand and long-guns). I believe if I can pass this course on the first try anybody can! I love the fact that it was conveniently located near the McCallum Rd freeway offramp, in Cabela's. Parking was ample and free. There were two or three breaks, including a 40 minute lunch break, and there were many restaurants, including a Starbucks, in the plaza. .
