This course introduces IPSC Shotgun, Mini Rifle, LBP, or Action Air, covering the core fundamentals of safety, range commands, and course navigation. It is ideal for beginners or those with limited dynamic shooting experience.
You will be assessed by a qualified IPSC Safety Instructor, and upon completion will receive one of the following outcomes:

PASS
The student demonstrates the required safety, skills, and temperament to compete safely in IPSC. This may also be carried out as a UKPSA Safety course.
REFERRAL
The student meets the course safety standard but must address specific improvement areas before a competition Pass can be awarded.
FAIL
A safety infraction occurs, or the required competency standard is not achieved sufficiently.
For Centaur Club members, this course forms part of the initial induction. If a Competition Licence is required, it can be issued upon completion for a small administrative fee to cover UKPSA Requirements.
