The basic purpose of hunter education is to reduce hunting incidents by teaching and promoting safe, legal, ethical and responsible hunting practices. A portion of this course is done online at your convenience and will cover the following topics:

  1. Hunter Responsibility and Ethics

  2. Wildlife Conservation and Management

  3. Firearms and Firearm Safety 

  4. Game Care and Wildlife Identification

  5. Outdoor Safety
     

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department offers a 2 part hybrid online and in-person hunter education certification option. 

  • Part 1 in an online only, in-home course. 

  • Part 2 is the REQUIRED Internet Completion Course (ICC) which is an in-person, 4 hour, instructor-led course. 

 

*An internet completion class may not be available when or where you need, so be sure to pre-register for an Internet Completion Course before beginning the online self- study portion of the course. 

*If you take the Wyoming online course, you MUST take the Wyoming internet completion course. Individuals that took an online course from a different state will NOT be allowed to take a Wyoming ICC.
