Internet-assisted Course

Protecting our hunting heritage through safe, knowledgeable and responsible hunters.

The Internet-assisted Course format is designed to meet the needs of those individuals with conflicting schedules. The program is designed to cover the information you need to know before going hunting – the same information delivered in the traditional classroom format. Like the traditional course, there is no required fee to take the online course.

You must have access to a computer AND a printer in order to complete the online portion of an Internet-Assisted course. DO NOT REGISTER FOR AN INTERNET-ASSISTED COURSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER AND A PRINTER!

This independent study method, a three-part process, requires pre-registration in an Internet-assisted Field Day and Testing Session, completion of an online hunter education course AND active participation in a Internet-assisted Hunter Education Field Day and Testing Session.

DO NOT TAKE ANY ONLINE COURSE UNTIL YOU HAVE PRE-REGISTERED FOR THE INTERNET-ASSISTED HUNTER EDUCATION FIELD DAY AND TESTING SESSION OF YOUR CHOICE. Click here for a current schedule of all courses being offered throughout the state.
