About this Event:
This is a public course offered in Sheridan. Hunter Education is a legal certification, and the course is recommended for ages 10 and up. It is recommended that students under age 12 have a parent attend with them. The course will take February 24-28, 5:30 pm - 8:15 pm, and March 1, 9:00am-12:00 pm. There is a $10 materials fee (due upon arrival) per student or family attending. Students must participate in EVERY session in order to earn their hunter education certificate. The other requirements to earn the certificate are: Take a written, multiple choice exam of 50 questions and achieve 80% correct; demonstrate safe firearm handling skills in a field test; and participate appropriately while in class. When you register for the class, (which includes a separate $5 fee payable to the software company) students and parents indicate their agreement to ALL class conditions/expectations! The instructors will provide all necessary materials. If you need assistance with registration, please call 307-777-4600, or 1-800-684-9542 after 5 pm or on weekends.

STUDENT AGREEMENT FORM
Graduates of this course are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of the material presented in class and in homework assignments on both verbal and written examinations. The demonstration of skill in safe gun handling is an important completion requirement. The student’s attitude toward the course of instruction and the acceptance of the principles of responsible hunter behavior weigh heavily in the pass/fail decision for each student.
Wyoming Hunter Education Law requires any person born on or after January 1, 1966, to successfully complete a hunter education course. The following policies and procedures have been outlined so you will fully understand the requirements for successfully completing the course.
Attendance at all sessions is required. Due to scheduling difficulties, make-up sessions will not be allowed. If you fail to attend any portion of the course your certification will be denied. Students are expected to be in their seats and ready for class at that time.
The following areas of concern will be used in evaluating each student for certification.
1. Class attendance
2. Prompt attendance at class sessions
3. Completion of homework assignments and worksheets
4. Participation in class activities and discussions
5. Scores on written quizzes
6. Score on the final examination
7. Performance on the firearms field course
8. Behavior in class and during the field exercise
9. Attitude
