What Courses and Certifications Do I Need To Start Hunting?

Navigating the necessary courses and qualifications to become a hunter can pose challenges. We understand the complexity of this process and are here to provide assistance. To help you along your journey towards becoming a skilled and certified hunter, we have compiled a set of FAQs designed to guide you through the necessary steps and requirements.

Conservation Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE)

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 firearm safety.

This course is held over two days. At the end of the second day you will be able to take the CORE exam, which is included in the price.

CFSC (PAL) Firearms License

If you intend on hunting with a rifle you'll need to take this course. CFSC is an introductory firearm safety course intended for all new firearms users and as a prerequisite for obtaining a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL). This course provides students with the knowledge of firearm laws and confidence for safe-handling. Our classes provide a relaxed and friendly class atmosphere where beginners won’t feel intimidated.
