Category H 11029NAT Course in Firearms Safety

Description

The 11029NAT Course in Firearms and Weapons Safety (Category H) is the Queensland Police-approved safety course you must complete before applying for a Concealable Firearms Licence. Category H covers handguns – firearms under 75 cm in length including air pistols and blank-fire pistols. The course introduces Queensland weapons legislation, licensing requirements and the role of firearms in the community, then teaches the terminology, safe handling, storage and transport of handguns. It is delivered at 3 Gun Tactical, Shop 8, 1631 Wynnum Road, Tingalpa in partnership with Asset College (RTO 31718), which issues the Statement of Attainment. Sessions are scheduled on demand – book here and we will contact you with the next date.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need this course if I already hold a Category A/B licence?
Yes – Queensland Police require a current safety-course certificate covering Category H unless you are already licensed for a concealable firearm.

How long is the Statement of Attainment valid for a licence application?
Queensland Police Weapons Licensing requires a Statement of Attainment issued within the last 12 months with a new licence application.

Does the course give me a licence?
No. It provides the approved safety-training evidence; you then apply to Queensland Police Weapons Licensing, who assess your application.
