Private Use &Competency
Private citizens who would like to license a firearm for self-defence need to complete two unit standards. The first is the Knowledge of the Act (U/S 117705), and the second in the basic unit standard for the firearm they wish to license. An example; fi a person would like to license a handgun for self defence; then the HANDLE &USE AHANDGUN (U/S 119649) unit standard must be completed as
well as the unit standard 117705.

The KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACT unit standard will cover the legalities around licensing a firearm for self-defence as well as aspects of the Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000. This unit standard requires that the learner complete two written tests; one formative exam (open book with no time limit )and a summative exam (closed book exam in the classroom environment after classroom-based training has taken place).

The basic unit standard, for e.g. HANDLE &USE AHANDGUN covers the law pertaining to the actual use of the firearm, the parts &functions of the firearm,
maintenance and malfunctions, and the fundamentals required to accurately and safely use the firearm. The learner is required to complete both a Formative and Summative exam as with the 117705 unit standard and must also complete a practical qualification shoot on the shooting range in order to be found competent against the requirements of the unit standard. Once you have completed both these unit standards; you will receive a certificate from the Training Provider who presented your training, together with a Statement of Results(SOR) from the Quality Assurer; the Professional Firearm Trainers Council. Both these documents will be issued to you by the Training Provider and are required for the Application of your Competency Certificate.
