2. Self-study: You will be required to complete an open-book test (formative exam) in your own time.
3. You will need to complete a closed-book test (summative exam) and a practical shooting assessment.
4. Upon successful completion of the above-mentioned steps, you will receive a Proficiency Certificate & Statement of Results (which you will need when applying for SAPS competency).
