These instructor-led hunter education courses are coming up in Southwest Idaho

A total of eight courses with open seats are slated to start in the next two months, with more to come. Students should note there may be various types of Hunter Education Certification courses in the list below, including pre-study options such as expedited one- or two-day courses and Hybrid Hunter Education (an interactive, virtual course with a hands-on field day), as well as the traditional Hunter Education format. Be sure to read the class description before signing up for a course.

Here is a list of upcoming courses and scheduled start-dates. Follow the links to see more information about each class and to register.

Note: If a particular course is full, check for other options that will work for you in the list below. Otherwise, click 'join wait list' as seats may open up for the course in which you are interested, and/or it could help us schedule additional courses to meet demand!

You can also try to attend a course that is full as a walk-in student since there is likely to be available seats from pre-registered students that fail to show. While you could be turned away as this is not a guaranteed spot in the course, our instructors do their best to accommodate walk-ins. Show up to the first class 15 minutes early and ask the instructor if they have room in their course to take additional students. To pay the course fee, bring both your checkbook and credit card so that you have the proper payment type accepted by the volunteer instructor (no cash).

Why sign up for an instructor-led course?

Learn from experienced hunters/instructors: Maybe you have a question about something that wasn't directly covered in the coursework, or maybe you just want a little more explanation. With instructor-led courses, you have the opportunity to dive a little deeper than what you find in the Hunter Education book. Instructors provide person-to-person interaction that you won't find through a strictly online course.

It's hands-on: In-person instruction provides a hands-on component to hunter education that simply isn't available in the online format. So, what exactly do we mean by "hands-on?" While both the online and in-person courses cover the same information, in-person students have the benefit of putting the concepts they learn into practice under the guidance of Hunter Education instructors who can explain and demonstrate.

For example, in every instructor-led course (including hybrid courses), students have the opportunity to practice safe firearm handling with inert firearms in the classroom, and receive specific training based on scenarios that most often lead to hunting-related accidents.

It's affordable: The cost for enrolling in instructor-led certification courses is less than a box of shotgun shells: just $9.75.
