Business-purposes competency · Renewed every year
Regulation 21 is the training and assessment the Firearms Control Act requires of anyone who carries a firearm for business purposes — security officers, armed response, cash-in-transit crews, close protection officers and the companies that employ them.
It is not a once-off. Regulation 21 re-assessment must be renewed every year, and an expired one is the most common reason a security company gets caught short on an inspection.
We run Regulation 21 every Thursday at False Bay Firearm Shooting Range in Glencairn — handgun, shotgun, self-loading rifle and manual-operated rifle. Bookings are essential. Companies bringing more than 10 participants can arrange a discount.
The codes this training is assessed against — the same codes that appear on your certificate and on the SAPS training register.
