Hunter
Education Courses Available
Free Courses Available in Several Southwest Ohio Counties
XENIA, OH- Space is available for potential hunters who want to take
Ohio’s hunter education course before many of the state’s popular
seasons begin, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s hunter education courses are taught
by certified instructors and are designed for every age and ability.
Courses are taught by some of Ohio’s best and most knowledgeable
hunters. Many people who take a hunter education course have never
hunted, but want to try it. Find an available class at wildohio.gov or
call 1-800-WILDLIFE (1-800-945-3543). Hunter education is a requirement
for all first-time license buyers in Ohio, except those who hunt with
an apprentice license.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife offers three types of certification
courses: instructor-led training, home-study courses, and proficiency
testing. A home-study course is available for Ohio residents, and
students complete a test led by certified instructors. A proficiency
test is available for Ohio residents 18 and older and experienced in
hunting and safe firearms handling.
New hunters can also gain experience in the field with an Ohio
apprentice hunting license. An apprentice license holder must be
accompanied by an experienced, licensed hunter 21 years old or older.
Courses are still available in Adams, Brown, Clermont, Darke, Highland
and Warren Counties. Space is limited and you must pre-register.
