UPCOMING COURSE DATES

For details on the process, read our guide available here.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL courses & seminars must be paid IN FULL at time of registration. *NO REFUNDS*

Due to the high demand, you may only transfer to a different PAL or RPAL class if you provide 2 WEEKS NOTICE (based on availability of upcoming courses). If you are sick on the day of the course and unable to attend, you must provide a doctor's note to transfer you to another class.

THERE ARE NO WAITLISTS FOR ANY OF THE COURSES - All courses are first-come, first-serve; there are no waitlists or cancelation lists for any of the courses. Please check back regularly if you are looking for a course and call to book as soon as you see a date that works for you as they tend to fill up very quickly. Please note that while we try to keep the website course listings up to date, because they fill up so fast they may not reflect the available spots. Availability can be confirmed by calling 613-838-8828 or by following the instructions at the bottom of this page.

Please note that attendance is the responsibility of the customer and we DO NOT PROVIDE REMINDER CALLS. Please make sure to take note of your course date and time when we confirm it at registration.

IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND YOUR COURSE, YOU FORFEIT YOUR COURSE FEE. NO SHOW/NO CALL = NO TRANSFER

RESTRICTED FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE (RPAL)

As mentioned on the Course Process page: The PAL course is a prerequisite to the RPAL course.

Please note: we do not know what will happen should the government choose to ban handguns. taking the rpal course does not guarantee you'll be able to purchase a handgun before the proposed ban goes into effect. there will not be any refunds issued if you take the course and are unable to obtain an rpal. thank you for understanding.

Short RPAL Course*: $170 plus HST ($192.10) includes exam (*Only available if you have taken your PAL course within the last 30 days and are at least 18-years-old.)
Full RPAL Course: $210 plus HST ($237.30) includes exam (Must be at least 18-years-old and have a PAL license or taken the course over 30 days ago.)

The difference between the Short RPAL course and the Full RPAL course is a review of some topics that would have been covered in your PAL. If you take the RPAL course within 30 days of your PAL course, you qualify for the short course as the information had just been communicated to you. If you've had your PAL or took your course more than 30 days ago, you are required to complete the FULL RPAL course.
