To Complete This Course

We offer the Hands-On and Written Test: This allows you take part of the class online and part of the class in person and then take the test.

We do not offer the Traditional Hunter Education at this time, which is a two day in person only class then you take the test. 

Topics include gun safety, wildlife management, survival/first aid, game identification, and how to hunt safely and ethically. Below is a link to all classes available in West Virginia. Students who have not reached their 10th birthday by the written test date of the class will not receive a permanent hunter education certification.
