Step 1:
Proficiency Training

The process starts by completing your proficiency training. This will include a 1. Theoretical Exam (consists of an open book- as well as closed book exam) and a Legal Test – knowledge of FCA/firearms control act. There is then a 2.

When applying for your Firearm Licence, you will need a detailed motivation for wanting/needing to own a firearm. Our staff will be able to assist with the drafting of your motivation. We have a 100% success rate.
