Category C&D 11029NAT Course in Firearms and Weapons Safety

Description

The 11029NAT Course in Firearms and Weapons Safety (Category C & D) is the Queensland Police-approved safety course for people who need Category C or D firearms for their occupation: primary producers, pest controllers, firearms dealers, armourers, instructors and theatrical ordnance suppliers, and in some cases collectors who belong to a collectors’ guild. Category C covers pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns and semi-automatic rimfire rifles of limited capacity; Category D covers semi-automatic centrefire rifles and higher-capacity semi-automatic shotguns and rimfires. Delivered face-to-face at 3 Gun Tactical, Shop 8, 1631 Wynnum Road, Tingalpa in partnership with Asset College (RTO 31718), the course runs 4-6 hours including live-fire practice at an approved range for students with prior firearms experience, or a full 8 hours for those without. Group bookings of five or more can be run as a stand-alone workshop, including at other locations.
