Calgary Gun Licence School - Calgary

A few of us did our PAL course here. The instructors were very knowledgeable, friendly, and it was clear they care about firearms. Their passion shows in their drive to help people not just pass the test, but truly understand and respect firearms, and get you acquainted with their safe use. If you are considering taking the PAL course, I highly recommend this place; we are happy with the amount of knowledge and experice we gained. Also there is free coffee ;)

Finally took my firearms course and I definitely choose the right place. I must say well done to Orlando, Elisa and all the supporting staff. Very professional instructors! This is not just a school, it's an Academy if you can learn it they can teach it. I highly recommend for all your firearm and shooting range needs. ??

Awesome experience! The instructor was very knowledgeable, handled everything with the care it deserved. Couldn’t be happier! (Italian sandwiches were the cherry on top)

I used firearms only once at a shooting range a long time ago. I finally decided to take the training(both courses). I was a little intimidated at first, but as the course progressed, I gained more knowledge and the confidence in safely handling different types of firearms. The instructors are very helpful and they take their time on every student to make sure he/she understand -- whether it was in theory or hands-on. I highly recommend taking your training with this school.

Orlando and Elisa were great instructors, funny and knowledgeable. As long as you pay attention and get a lot of practice on the guns you will pass the exam portion.

Did a course there, 50% of the people were not wearing masks and there were over 25 students in the class. I am not even sure if they were vaccinated. Last two year I was so careful and never got COVID but this time this stupid course gave me COVID, and I gave it to my family, Suppose to travel out of Country but had to cancel the tour for all four of us. Thank you Calgary Gun Licence School.

I kept debating between where I had to go to for obtaining my Firearms licence until I came across the Calgary Gun Licence School. I would highly recommend this school to anyone out there who wants to learn about weapons and their safe usage and the laws and regulations that are required to possess or use a weapon at a range or off a range. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable ,professional, polite, assertive and very approachable. I will take other safety courses (at range) soon. Thank you!

This course was great and lots of fun, Orlando and Elisa were phenomenal instructors. The course is well set up, you will pass as long as you pay attention and become comfortable with the handling of firearms. I recommend doing this with a friend, as you will be partnered up once you get into the handling of firearms. This also takes place at a martial arts school/training academy, so you will have to take off your footwear once you enter. Also, they have a strict no-phone policy once you're inside the classroom, since it's an RCMP course, so I cannot stress this enough, just turn off your phone!! The course flies by, and before you know it, the day will be over. Non-restricted is timed for 8 hours, my class was about 10-11 hours because we had more students than expected. Restricted was timed for 4, but went on for about 6 hours. 2 other testers were actually sick, so that's why it took longer, but testing generally does take some more time, so make sure you don't have anything planned on the weekends. Make sure your entire day is dedicated to these courses! Orlando is incredibly knowledgeable with firearms and firearm safety, and definitely pay lots of attention to his lectures, he's been doing this for a very, very long time. He's a total badass. Elisa was spectacular at showing how to handle firearms, and ask her any questions or assistance you need when you get to that part of the course. Don't be nervous when it comes time to test. You will have plenty of time to practice with firearms before your practical tests. They do a very good job at keeping this course incredibly SIMPLE, so make sure you don't over think, and just keep things simple!! You will be doing a written and practical tests for both restricted and non-restricted. I highly recommend doing BOTH! I also recommend paying the extra fee to get your photo taken there, they have a photographer who comes in and takes your photo so it's all ready to get sent out when you receive it, and meets all the criteria for RCMP standards. It's all pretty self explanatory and common sense, just make sure you listen, pay attention, and participate, and the course isn't very difficult. Have fun and learn lots about firearms and firearm safety! I recommend this school to anyone.
