You will not receive a PAL at the end of this course but the successful completion of this course allows you to apply for one.
You will receive all the paperwork and forms to apply for a PAL. If the classes below do not say "FULL" - space is available.
A reminder communique will be emailed to all students prior to the weekend. It's also a request to advise us if you're not feeling well in any way to contact this office to reschedule with no cost to the student.

2nd Instructor: Stavros Nicolinas - Certified CFSC/CRFSC Instructor
Stavros has been an instructor for 13 years and was mentored by Mike Glas and taught alongside him from day one. There's a course almost every weekend at the Vancouver Gun Club and Stavros teaches every 2nd weekend, thus has trained more students than the average busy instructor in the Lower Mainland.
The feedback received is documented at the bottom of this web page being testimony of Mike and Stavros dedication and quality of delivering a great program.
As result of Bill C-21, we have experienced a significant drop in Restricted Course Registrations thus we're reducing the number of Restricted Course training days. If you want both courses you do not have to take them on the same weekend. You can take the Non-restricted first on one weekend and then take the Restricted course later on a different weekend.
TRAINING: Have you been out of school a long time and apprehensive about exams? Our presentation has over 300 power point slides. Adults and students where English is their second language do consistently well on the exams. We're geared towards teaching everyone including adults who are many, many years out of school. Read the testimonials at the bottom of this page!
Gift Certificates for Birthdays, Anniversaries, a milestone occasion and any other reasons you can think of are offered.
