Overview

This certification option is the mandatory second half of a two-part hybrid of online independent study. Students must have first completed the online at-home study portion of Wyoming hunter education (https://www.hunter-ed.com/wyoming/) before taking this 4-hour instructor-led, in-person portion.

Students are required to be at least 10 years old to participate. However, this course is recommended for ages 12 and older.
It is recommended that individuals register for an internet completion course before taking the 9-13 hour online independent study course.

Hunter Education Courses are mostly offered in Wyoming from January - September, with most classes in March, April, August and September.
Internet Completion courses are not yet in every community, so look for an in-person course first.

If you can't find a course in your area, check the webpage regularly and put your name on a notification list to receive a one-time email when a class becomes available in your area.
