Hunter Education Instructors

Apply to teach hunter education

To teach hunter education, you need to be a certified instructor. Instructors can specialize as hunting, bowhunting and/or trapping instructors.

To apply, you need to:

• be at least 18 years old
• be knowledgeable about sporting arms, wildlife and hunting.

What happens after you apply?

After you are accepted into the program, you will be scheduled for fingerprinting and a confidential background check by the State Department of Law Enforcement. Next, we provide orientation and training, which includes observing and assisting a veteran instructor.
