What We Do

The Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario (FSESO) is an association of firearms safety instructors. Our instructors are designated by the Chief Firearms Office of Ontario to teach and examine the Canadian Firearm Safety Course (CFSC) and/or the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRSFC) in Ontario.  Public safety is our number one priority.  We believe that firearms safety is everyone’s responsibility.

The FSESO operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of the Solicitor General, authorizing the organization to manage the delivery of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course in Ontario.
