Courses

Choose the firearms safety course you need

Every class is taught in person with hands-on practice using inert training firearms, then a written and practical evaluation.

CFSC

  • Hands-on practice with safe handling
  • Written and practical components
  • Small, hands-on classes

CRFSC

CFSC + CRFSC

Combined CFSC + CRFSC Package

$275 + GST

Both courses booked together as one package. The CFSC portion runs first, so no prior certification is needed to book.

  • CFSC runs first, then CRFSC
  • Better value than booking separately
  • Restricted portion still requires meeting the official prerequisite

Why Chamber Clear

Straightforward training, taught properly

Small classes

Small classes mean real hands-on time and room to ask questions without feeling rushed.

Beginner friendly

No experience assumed. We start with the fundamentals and build up in plain language.

Practical focus

Safe handling is taught by doing it, repeatedly, with instructor feedback before your evaluation.

Close to home

Held in Leduc, a short drive south of Edmonton. Students come from across the region, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Beaumont, Nisku and Millet.

Questions

Common questions before you book

Do I need the CFSC to apply for a PAL?

Yes. The Canadian Firearms Safety Course is required for a non-restricted Possession and Acquisition Licence application. Completing the course does not issue a licence on its own — the Canadian Firearms Program makes all licensing decisions.

I have never handled a firearm. Is this course right for me?

Yes. Most of our students arrive with no experience at all. The course starts from the basics, and every practical exercise is instructor-led with inert training firearms.

What does the course cost?

CFSC is $160 + GST, CRFSC is $150 + GST, and the combined CFSC + CRFSC package is $275 + GST. Prices are shown with GST added at checkout.

Do I need the CFSC before taking the CRFSC?

Successful CFSC completion or a valid PAL is required before the restricted course, and CRFSC participants must be 18 or older. If you book the combined package, the CFSC portion runs first.

How many students are in a class?

We keep classes small so everyone gets plenty of hands-on practice and time with the instructor. When a class is larger, we bring in a second instructor, so that stays true no matter the size.
