No, you must take the course(s) as well as the exams to be eligible to apply for your firearms license, whether here in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada. At one point, years ago, you could “challenge” the exams only, but this is no longer an option, and considering the problems people with little firearms experience had, it’s really for the best.
When you take the course(s), everything falls into place easier, and time can be taken to expand on a subject to make sure the concepts are clear. This is especially critical for the handling exercises, which would not be obvious to inexperienced persons.
So, no time like the present to book your firearms safety course in Toronto today, right here:https://firearmstoronto.ca/courses/
