Once accepted into the Club, and you have paid your membership fees, unlicenced applicants will enter a 6 months probation period before they can apply for a concealable firearms licence.
During your probation period, if you haven’t already done so, you will be required to undertake the Weapons Safety Course for categories A, B, & H and obtain a Certificate of Attainment.
When you commence the probation period you will be supplied with your own copy of the Club Training Manual which contains the following information:

- Check lists that must be signed by your instructor as you progress
- The Club By-Laws and Standing Orders
- Weapons licencing and Legislation information
- Application forms
- Match guides & information

The format for the unlicenced persons training program is as follows:
- The designated Club training night is the 3rd Tuesday evening of each month commencing at 7:00pm
- Members must wear their Club membership badge each time they visit the range
- The Club will ensure that you have the use of a quality Club pistol for training
- Be coached and monitored by a Club trainer
- Before the Club will sign off your probation, you must demonstrate your understanding and proficiency in a number of matches
- The Club Captain and your Training Officer will ensure you have an understanding of these requirements
- During the probation period you are encouraged to observe other matches and participate in Club competitions at every opportunity
