Welcome to Niagara Firearms Training
Whether you’re applying for your Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) for hunting, recreational target shooting, or employment requiring firearms training—such as security work or certain federal law enforcement careers—we’re here to help you succeed.
Niagara Firearms Training is committed to providing professional, high-quality firearms safety education in a welcoming learning environment. We deliver courses in partnership with Niagara Frontier Academy and pride ourselves on outstanding instruction and customer service.
Our dedicated training facility is located in a professional classroom environment within a former high school. To ensure every student receives personalized attention and ample hands-on instruction, classes are limited to 12 students.
Our instructors are certified by the Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario (FSESO) and authorized by the Chief Firearms Officer for Ontario to deliver the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC). Our lead instructor has more than 25 years of teaching experience, providing thousands of students with the knowledge and confidence needed to handle firearms safely and responsibly.
We are proud members and supporters of the Ontario firearms community, including organizations such as the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), the Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA), and the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights (CCFR).

Course Information
The Canadian Firearms Safety Course is conducted in English. Students will be introduced to a significant amount of new terminology, so we strongly recommend reviewing the electronic course manual before attending.
The written examination must be completed in English or French. Translation assistance is not permitted. If you require a French examination, please contact us in advance to confirm availability.
The course is pass/fail. To successfully complete the course, students must achieve a minimum score of 80% on both:
-
the written examination; and
-
the practical (hands-on) examination.
-
​
Payment
Online payment is required at the time of registration. We do not accept payment by other methods.
​
Attendance, Transfers & Refunds
Because class sizes are limited, refunds are not available for students who do not attend their scheduled course or who do not successfully complete the first day of training.
If you are unable to attend, your registration may be transferred to another person before the course begins. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange the transfer.
If you become ill or are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, please notify us at least 24 hours before the course, whenever possible. We will make every reasonable effort to transfer your registration to a future course, subject to availability.
If a course is full, we will also attempt to fill your seat from our waiting list whenever possible.
