Courses and Education

Find out who needs to complete a firearms safety course, how to prepare, and how to book training as part of the firearms licensing process.

Learn, prepare, share – firearms safety starts here. Go through these e-learning modules and the Firearms Safety Code before you attend the firearms safety course to help with the theory and practical parts of the course.

Standard Firearms Safety Course, Community Firearms Safety Course, Schools Based Firearms Safety Course and Whakatūpato are Firearms Safety and Education NZ and community-based safety training courses designed to provide support and knowledge for firearms safety.

After completing the Firearms Safety Course and gaining a firearms licence, it’s a good idea for new firearms users to find a mentor.
