CATEGORY A/B LONGARM FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE - CHANGE TO PROCEDURE EFFECTIVE JUNE, 2020
FIREARMS SAFETY COURSES ARE NOW BEING DELIVERED ONLINE
The Victorian Police Licensing and Regulations Division (LRD) has advised that an online Firearms Safety Course will now supersede ‘in person’ courses. In person Firearms Safety Courses will therefore become redundant.
Content as usually delivered in a Firearms Safety Course will now be delivered via online video and slideshows. An in person exam then needs to be attended where those who return a positive exam result will be provided with a Firearms Safety Course completion Certificate.
For detailed step by step instructions please visit the information below.
