A scan of that needs to be included in your license application along with your photo ID, safety course certificate, participation card for the probation period and any A/B license details.
Once all that is submitted you will have the license application reference number that you can take to the club to get a PTA support letter for your pistol of choice, no rush on that though as the license approval could take 6 months.

Im interested in learning but ive watched a lot of videos on how to do it and it just seems complicated and the chance you can screw up the process and load the rounds to hot ive been told they can make your guns go boom and possibly your hand with it haha. As for ammo I just picked up 500 rounds of 9mm for $165 and 500 rounds of 38 special for $190 and it only costs me $22 to go and shoot as many rounds as I want (usually 50 of each). I keep all the spent brass of the 38 special as its usually not that cheap like the deal I got and whatever 9mm I scrounge up off the floor of the range. Its easy for me to keep all the 38 special as I shoot it from a revolver I just dump the spent shells straight back into the box it comes in.

500 rounds of 9mm for $190? Damn, nice find.
