Course Schedule (scroll down to see the schedule and additional instructions)
All of our scheduled program dates are posted in the chart below. This schedule is updated as regularly as we can and often several times per day.
Monitor this website for updates. We post all new dates as soon as they become available, generally about 3 months ahead.
All training courses are located at 21599 Cherry Hill Road, Thorndale ON N0M 2P0 unless otherwise indicated in the schedule.
Seats are available until the available seats are marked as 0 (zero) in the "Open Spots" column. Occasionally seats reappear in the 'Open Spots' column if a student cancels or does not submit their deposit in a timely manner.

I will be hosting fishing clients and taking care of Smith Bay Camp on Lake Kipawa, Quebec for the week of June 12-19, maybe even do a bit of fisheries research between bailing boats, fueling boats and attending to the needs of the camp guests. Access to me by phone or email/internet may be limited. Talk to you when I get home! |

INQUIRIES
Weekends are a busy time for inquiries, so on teaching weekends I return calls and emails in the order they come in either late Sunday night or on Monday mornings (after 4 coffees).
REGISTRATIONS AND 'WAITING LISTS' - We do not maintain an unpaid "waiting list". If you want to take a course, register and submit a deposit for the earliest course that has open spots that you are able to attend and indicate your desire to move to an earlier class if one becomes available. If there is a cancellation or another student does not confirm their spot in the class with a deposit, we will contact you and give you the opportunity to move up your training date. If no one cancels, your original date that you signed up will be the course that you will attend.
If you send in a registration you will be placed in the class roster, however if the course fills and you do not submit a deposit, your spot will go to the next registrant that confirms their spot with a deposit.
STANDALONE OR "ONE STOP" COURSES - Courses listed as "One Stop" CFSC/CRFSC or CFSC/OHEP (Hunter Ed) courses do not have to be taken the same weekend to get the "One Stop" price. It is often a good idea to split up the training sessions for younger students (and some adults) as the Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday courses can make for a long weekend of sitting in the classroom. Remember when booking courses that the student must have passed the CFSC (or possess a valid PAL) to attend the CRFSC. It is highly preferred that the student take the CFSC before taking the OHEP (Ontario Hunter Education Program).
With the increased interest and attention to firearms recently, there is a high demand for courses and classes often fill quickly as we approach the course dates. If you wish to secure a seat in the class, do not delay in contacting us by submitting a registration form below by selecting "Register" highlighted in blue on the right hand side of the page or fill out a form on the 'Registration' page if there is not a link on the schedule page. If you have any problems signing up, do not hesitate to call outside of my scheduled course dates.
