How to Prepare

Though it varies by instructor and location, most classes take place over two days. Seating is often limited, so be sure to call to confirm availability and/or register.

Study materials will be provided in the class, but you will need to bring a pencil or pen and a highlighter.  

What to expect in class

Your instructor will cover a range of topics, from conservation, safety, and ethics to the proper handling of shotguns, handguns, bowhunting gear, and more. You should not bring firearms or archery equipment to class - all necessary equipment will be provided.

Certification testing

Once you've completed the course work, you will be given a 100-question test which includes a mix of multiple choice, matching, and true/false questions. A student must score 80% or higher on the test to pass and obtain certification.
