Hunter Education Online
Traditional vs. Internet - Which is Best for You?
In addition to to the traditional Hunter Education. An Online, Internet-based Hunter Education course is also available. The online hunter education course was developed for the more mature student who may have scheduling problems that make getting into a traditional class difficult or impossible. Due to the fact that completion of the course is independent, without guidance from an experienced instructor, younger students may have difficulty in successfully completing the coursework and have difficulty achieving the90% required on the entrance exam. Students with little or no gun handling experience may struggle with the field test due to Internet field Days (IFDs) being a measuring or assessment session and not a training session.In such cases, registering for a traditional course is recommended. For information on registering for a traditional course, refer to our hunter education course schedule.
