Why sign-up for an instructor-led class?

Learn from experienced instructors: Instructor-led class give students the chance to ask questions, get clarification, and explore topics beyond what's covered in the Hunter Education manual. These courses offer meaningful, face-to-face instruction from knowledgeable hunters-something you simply can't get from an online-only class.

Hands-on learning: In-person classes include a practical, hands-on component that online courses can't replicate. While both formats cover the same material, instructor-led classes allow students to apply what they've learned with direct guidance and demonstrations from certified Hunter Education instructors.

As part of every instructor-led class, students practice safe firearm handling using inert firearms in a classroom setting. Instruction focuses on real-world scenarios that commonly lead to hunting-related accidents, helping students build safe habits and confidence.
