IDPA pistol qualification

Nope. You have to complete a new shooter orientation (NSO) course and get your Certificate. Some IDPA clubs will let you participate with a black badge initially.
You can't shoot a classifier or match without the NSO course completed. Its short and sweet and if you have your black badge it won't be difficult.

Not true. PPC IPSC/USPSA qualifications allow you to compete, in country or internationally if a member of IDPA.
To shoot a sanctioned match (Tier 2 or above) you must be an IDPA member and have a current/valid classification prior to the date of the match.
SOME clubs require a shooter to have some sort of holster training (ie IPSC, CAS, PPC, ODPL training courses) before shooting a match at their club. However you if you go into the IDPA rulebook there is no mention of a New Shooters Orientation Course.

The New Shooter Orientation Course was developed here in Canada to meet the needs of some clubs, principally located in Ontario, who required a recognized Holster Qualification Course. The course has been well received across Canada and has served it's purpose. Clubs are free to use it or not at their discretion. The course is not mandated by IDPA but by some clubs who insist on a holster qualification course for their members. The course costs $5.00 plus any additional costs incurred by the club presenting the material. The practical potion of the course mirrors that offered by the IPSC Black Badge Course. The main difference being the obvious reference to IDPA rules vs the rules for IPSC.
