19 NOVEMBER 2021 We are pleased to announce the launch of a wholly SSAA NSW owned Registered Training Organisation, Industry Training Specialists Pty Ltd (ITS). ITS is committed to providing the highest quality of safety training in specialised firearms related activities to the non-government and government sectors. Extensive consultation was undertaken to identify training needs with a view to offering greater access to a wider spectrum of training and education solutions. These will be focused on meeting the current industry requirements, where the availability of quality training providers and resources are presently limited and unable to cope with the growing demand. TRAINING THE SAFEST CIVILIAN FIREARMS OWNERS IN THE WORLD SSAA NSW provides an effective and credible voice on behalf of all NSW shooters to the wider public, community leaders and authorities. We know that training, safety and professionalism are extremely important in the normalising and acceptance of our sport in the wider community. ITS is key to SSAA NSW being a positive influencer for all legal firearms owners in NSW. Like our ranges, ITS provides an avenue to show the decision makers in government that NSW legal firearms owners are serious about being the best, safest and most well-trained civilian firearms owners in the world. HIGHER LEVELS OF TRAINING AND ACCREDITATION SSAA NSW has established ITS to build upon the foundations of training already offered on our ranges around the state. Once licensed, SSAA NSW has the ranges and qualified range officers to induct legal firearms owner in safety, competency and ethics. ITS will further the education of our shooters, providing accreditation at the highest levels of safety and skill, above that of a standard firearms licence test.
