Range officer & instructor

Range Officers and Firearm Instructors play a critical role in ensuring the safety of range users and the general public by educating and supervising people who use firearms. Asset Firearm and Crossbow Club employs experienced Range Officers and Instructors1 who have undergone formal training and demonstrated a consistent high level of safety management through a supervised (voluntary) work experience program.2

our range officer training program3 covers:

  • QLD Weapons Legislation
  • Asset Firearm and Crossbow Club Policies and Procedures
  • Advanced Firearm Handling Techniques
  • Opening and Closing Procedures for Approved Ranges
  • Conducting Competitions and other Range Practices
  • Coaching Techniques
  • Identifying Behaviours of Concern and Managing Conflicts
  • Managing Incidents and Emergencies on Approved Ranges
  • Administrative and Reporting Requirements for Range Officers

OUR FIREARM INSTRUCTOR TRAINING PROGRAM3 COVERS:

  • The Range Officer Training Program
  • Asset College RTO Policies and Procedures
  • Training and Assessment Strategies for the Approved Firearms Safety Courses
  • Instructional Techniques for a diverse range of trainees
  • Conducting Practical (Classroom and Live Fire) Firearms Training
  • Conducting Firearm Assessments
  • Administrative and Reporting Requirements for Firearms Instructors


During the supervised work experience phase of these programs, trainee Range Officers and Firearms Instructors will be working directly with Asset Firearm and Crossbow Club’s members and visitors; this will include conducting routine activities as well as a variety of simulated incidents, emergencies, faults and other problems where the trainee will be required to demonstrate their ability to effectively respond to issues in a controlled environment.

A customised version of this course is available for Government, Corporate and other Clubs who wish to contextualise the course to their club or workplace. For these courses, a third party assessment by the supervising club or employer will be required instead of the supervised work experience with Asset Firearm and Crossbow Club.
