level 1 cert

Wood, the age has recently changed to 18 to standardise across Europe.
No it hasn't changed for the lending of rifles using the estate rifle clause, what did change was if the borrower of a rifle is 17 then the FAC holder must be 18 or over.
 
As has been said, 14 or over a person can apply for and hold Section 1 certificate.

Over 14 but with no certificate they can shoot at a HO approved club

Some BASC trainers have access to a HO clubs so we can and do train over 14 /under 18’s (about 2 a year) but as I say we can only offer this through those who operate at a HO club

For the details on the ‘estate rifle’ exemption have a look here: Document Summary

Not quite right David the quoted text in bold red type is incorrect as there is no minimum age limit on being able to join and shoot at a HO approved club.

The BDS is a HO approved club so I guess under 18's without a FAC would be better going with them as it is less hit and miss if they can do the course or not.
 
Hi Stalker 45 I would post an intro as per the site rules asap

Also the legal age you can do DSC1 without an FAC is any age as a member of an HO approved Gun Club or 17 if not a member of an HO approved Gun Club
