Why sign up for an instructor-led course?

Learn from experienced hunters/instructorsInstructor-led courses give students the chance to ask questions, dive deeper into course material and benefit from real-world experience. Instructors provide personal interaction and practical insight that goes beyond what’s available in a strictly online course.

Hands-on learningIn-person instruction includes hands-on components that simply aren’t possible online. Students practice applying what they’ve learned under the guidance of certified instructors. For example, all instructor-led and hybrid courses include safe firearm-handling practice using inert firearms, along with scenario-based training focused on preventing common hunting-related accidents.

Affordable and accessibleInstructor-led certification courses cost just $9.75—less than a box of shotgun shells, and they are being offered throughout various communities in the Panhandle Region.
