HUNTER EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR

ADVANCEMENT/RECOGNITION PROGRAM

The Advancement/Recognition Program is a continuing effort to encourage California Hunter Education Instructors to increase their knowledge of basic teaching skills and specific topics pertaining to the Hunter Education Program. Eventually, there will be three instructor ratings - Advanced, Expert and Master.

The second rating, ‘Expert Instructor’ requires that a Hunter Education Instructor complete the following provisions:

1. Have completed one year service as an ‘Advanced Instructor’

2. Have taught a minimum of 5 courses as an Advanced Instructor

3. Have completed a qualified Bowhunting Course

4. Have completed a qualified Muzzleloading Course

5. Have completed a qualified Survival Course

6. Have completed a qualified Wildlife Management Course

The Region 3 Hunter Education Instructor Association realizes that there may be courses not list- ed under the qualifications that would fulfill the intended requirements for current ‘Advanced Instructors’ to become ‘Expert Instructors’. The administrators of the program encourage all ‘Advanced instructors’ that believe that they may qualify as an ‘Expert Instructor’ to submit their application for review.
