Collection: Kamloops: in-person CORE course

In order to become a hunter, BC residents must complete the Conservation Outdoor Recreation Education Program (CORE). The CORE program provides an overview of the hunting laws, ethics, animal identification, and firearms safety.

The EatWild CORE class is delivered over seventeen hours of mandatory course requirements and testing.  This includes twelve hours of classroom, one hour of testing, and four hours of video lessons that you can watch on your schedule.  EatWild offers an additional four hours of how-to-hunt video podcast lessons free of charge.
