Canadian Firearms Safety Course Retest
If you were unsuccessful in passing the Restricted or Non-Restricted Canadian Firearms Safety Course Exams, you have a single opportunity to retest. Wait at least one full day after the exam you did not pass, and complete your retest within 7 calendar days of that exam. Contact our office as soon as possible to book a retest inside the 7-day window.Overview
Retest Fee
Your retest is free if you bought Silvercore's online study course before your in-person course, including when you add it at checkout, or if you are a Silvercore Club member. Please call our office to register.
- CFSC re-test $30 total for both written / practical plus tax
- CRFSC re-test $30 total for both written / practical plus tax
Retest days
Please note that re-tests will be facilitated where possible on the 2nd day of CFSC / CRFSC courses. Re-test students are instructed to show up to the class at 11:00am and complete their testing at 1PM unless advised otherwise.
Important considerations
- Both multiple choice and practical tests must be completed when re-testing the CFSC or CRFSC
- This is a closed book test
- Re-tests are made by appointment only
- Minimum government standards must be achieved to be successful, full stop
- It is the student's responsibility to be fully versed in the material and testing standards prior to attending a retest
- If you require extra instruction or study to prepare for your retest, check out Silvercore's Online Firearms Safety Course Study program
Directive from the Canadian Firearms Program
The RCMP CFP has issued the following directive in regards to the CFSC and CRFSC:
- All CFSC or CRFSC re-tests must wait 1 day (re-test cannot be done same day as the original exam date) after the time they failed and must be completed within 7 calendar days. Otherwise the whole course will need to be re-done
- If they fail a re-test, adults are required to complete the course in full. When re-doing testing after a failure, both adults and minors must redo the written and practical portions of the testing – not just the portion they failed
