CFC Aiming for Safety LogoTimetable of courses and exams

Our courses are scheduled on weekends. We could put together evening or custom courses, if and when demand warrants it -- please inquire if you have a minimum group of 10 people. If you just want the exam, without the course, we're there on the Sunday afternoon of a course weekend at the main (Day's Inn) location

You MUST pre-register for all course and exam sessions.

* A properly formatted photograph has to accompany your application when you mail it in. A Passport photo is NOT the right size. We will have a photographer on site to provide you with such a photo.

We have some mid-week, daytime classes in the downtown Toronto
(High Park) area for those who are available during the week.
If you are interested, please email the instructor directly
through this link: .
These classes will only run if we get enough students.

NOTE: If you book a regular class and then transfer to a downtown session, a $30 administration fee will apply. All of the other cancellation/reschedule terms and conditions also apply.

Just want to challenge the exam?
Come to any PAL course session at the Day's Inn at 11am on the Sunday morning.
Pre-register here (if you don't pre-register, you will not be tested).

A typical course agenda looks like this (some of our instructors prefer to mix the CFSC and CRFSC content when the entire class is doing the full course). The Legion course starts a little later.
 

Saturday, 
7:30am to 8:00am
Sign-in and photos are taken (Day's Inn only)
Saturday, 
8:00am to 6:00pm
The non-restricted part of the course (long guns). This is the regular "Canadian Firearms Safety Course" (CFSC) and if you are not interested in handguns, your course ends here, except for a practice session.

Sunday, 
8:00am to
12:00pm

 The "restricted", or handgun part of the course (CRFSC). You must have taken the CFSC to attend this session.
Sunday, 
11:00am to 1:00pm		 Exams for those challenging the tests.
Sunday, 
12:00pm to 2:00pm		 Additional Handling session for long guns and handguns, course wrapups.
Sunday, 
1:00pm - ?? 		CFS/CRFS exams. Restricted exams start at this time, including for those challenging the exams. Students doing both exams would do both together.
Evening or mid-week Courses On request, for groups only. They typically run 4 hours/evening, the first three evenings are the CFSC and the fourth one is the CRFSC. You attend a regular exam session.
