Questions
Does Field Competent lodge my renewal with SAPS?
No. It reminds you in time and keeps your documents together. You still apply through your designated firearms officer.
Is Premium a subscription?
Yes. You can pay by the month or by the year. A monthly plan renews each month until you cancel. A yearly plan is one year at a time: about three months before it ends we email you to choose, and it only renews for another year if you say so. If you don’t choose, Premium continues month to month. A launch-price member keeps the launch price each time they renew for another year. Cancel any time in Settings: Premium stays on until the month or year you paid for ends, and your records stay on your account on the free plan.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every account can try Premium free for 7 days, with no card and nothing charged. Before the 7 days end we email you, and if you don’t subscribe your account simply moves to the free plan. After you pay, payments aren’t refunded, so cancel before the next one if you no longer need it. In an exceptional case, or where the law requires it, we will refund.
Can I use it on my phone and computer?
Yes. Field Competent works in any browser on your phone or computer, all on one account. The phone app is coming soon to Apple and Android.
