Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Only thing that slowed it down was my GP surgery,but that was nothing to do with the service from ShootCert. Thanks for an easy and professional service.

Renewal made easy

From the start ShootCert made the process as straightforward as possible, with clear instructions. Their attention to detail and speed of return communication was superb.

Invaluable assistance.

I used Shootcert after being shocked by the fee from my G.P. Im so glad i did, as the Drs completely messed up the paperwork and overran the time allowed by over 50%. Shootcert stepped in and assisted, which caused the Drs to get their act together and comply. Then my notes were checked and returned to me in extremely short order and i could complete the application.

Gold Star service

First time user of the ShootCert service despite being a shotgun certificate holder for 40 years. Very straightforward intuitive website to sign up. Regular reminders, prompts, for example check that GP surgery had received SAR. Once ShootCert had my records (a reassuringly slim envelope for a 71 year old!) they provided the Pro Forma as a pdf within 12 hours. A truly gold star service.
