Firearm Safety Course

The QRA is a Nationally Recognised Training Organisation (RTO number 5308) approved by the QLD Police Service Weapons Licensing Branch to deliver the 11029NAT Course in Firearm Safety on their behalf. It also offers Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) options if applicable.

The Statement of Attainment, which you will receive upon successful completion of the course, is a mandatory requirement for your licence application. This statement is valid for twelve months from the date of issue.

Before booking into a course, you will need to check what category licence you require. Each category is linked to specific firearms, with the most common categories being A and B for mainly bolt action Rimfire and Centre-fire rifles, Break Action shotguns and Paint Ball guns, and H for handguns.

In addition, the QRA can offer courses on request for restricted categories C and D, M - Crossbow and M Miscellaneous - Collectors, for which you will need a specific reason, such as occupation, to be able to obtain a licence.

In the article ‘What are the Firearms Licence categories in QLD’ you will find the specific details for each category.
