Picture of Certification Assessments  - 24/01/2025

Certification Assessments are offered to NRA members who need to undertake an assessment for a Safety Certification Card and will be given a 4-year SCC upon successful completion.

Certification assessments consist of a 30-40 minute assessment, which includes a 12 question written test (reading material available for download below) and a practical shoot, to assess your knowledge, safety and competence.   The practical shoot will not take place if you fail the written test.

Assessments take place on Winans Range here at Bisley, and cost £30.00 for one discipline, £42.00 for two disciplines and £54.00 for 3 or more disciplines.  Discounts will be applied at the checkout.

YOU MUST BRING FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION (5 rounds per firearm) FOR EACH DISCIPLINE YOU ARE BEING ASSESSED ON.

If you do not own your own firearms then they must be ordered with ammunition in advance by contacting Membership - susan.conway@nra.org.uk

  • Telescopic Sighted Rifles - you must provide a telescopic sighted rifle for your assessment
  • Iron Sighted Rifles - you must provide an iron sighted rifle for your assessment
  • Gallery Rifle Carbine - you must provide a gallery rifle/carbine firearm for your assessment
  • HME assessment - you must attend with your HME firearm - assessments will not be permitted using an iron sighted gallery rifle
  • LPB/LBR assessment - you must bring your own LPB/LBRs to be assessed as the NRA does not legally posses these firearms
  • Muzzle Loading Rifle/Pistol - you must bring your own MLP/MLR for your assessment
  • Target Shotgun - you must bring your own shotgun and have 'slug' ammunition only, as other shotgun ammunition is not permitted on Winans Range.
  • Heritage Pistol - you must be a HOA Section 7.3 firearm holder to be assessed for Heritage Pistol
