    The nargc do an online one every second Tuesday I'm nearly sure. Check the events section on their website

    I agree with Clive.

    Personally and nothing against Nargc but I would be very wary of any online training courses for most anything and especially firearms training.

    As an ex-military small arms instructor/coach and ex OSH trainer I wouldn’t dream of certifying someone online, (that’s a first class ticket to hell….), end of day nothing beats a hands on/eyes on course under supervision of competent trained personnel.

    Just my tuppence worth.

    Point taken but the reason I said the online course is that I have heard of lads going into other people for the course and leaving 5 minutes later with their cert

    Well not at Harbour House, you'll get a good introduction and shown everything you'd need for your cert and a great shakedown of all you'd want to know.

    I was in with him last weekend, sound man and get to do a bit of shooting on the virtual reality screen afterwards.

    Highly recommended.
