Online Hunting Course
Everything you need to pass BC's CORE hunter-education exam — safety, conservation, law, animal ID and more. Self-paced, on any device, built by instructors who run the real thing.
Every CORE topic — firearm safety, conservation, ethics, law, animal & bird ID, first aid, survival and field skills — explained clearly, with 64+ real photos and diagrams.
Knowledge checks, decision scenarios, shot-placement and wildlife-ID exercises, and a practice exam at the end of every section to prove you're ready.
Start on your phone, finish on your laptop. Sign in and your progress, quiz scores and badges follow you everywhere.
Earn XP, climb through hunter ranks, and collect achievement badges as you go — so a 10-hour course actually gets finished.
- Study online, at your own pace. Work through all 13 modules with quizzes that lock in what you learn.
- Prove you're ready. Pass each section's practice exam (80%) to move on and confirm you know the material.
- Challenge the official CORE exam. When you're prepared, book the official CORE exam — a written test plus a practical firearm-handling test — with a certified CORE instructor. Passing it earns the certificate you need for your BC hunting licence.
