CORE Hunter Education

Overview

If you’re looking to get a hunting licence in British Columbia, this is the course for you. Successful completion of the Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) course is a Provincial requirement to obtain a Fish & Wildlife ID (FWID). This FWID number is needed to purchase hunting licenses, tags or apply for Limited entry Hunting in BC.

Designed with the novice outdoor enthusiast in mind, our BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) approved CORE course (and optional online preparation course) covers everything from hunting regulations and animal identification to the safe handling of Non-restricted firearms (long guns). Our hunter education program gives you the best preparation possible for the Provincial hunters exam which is administered on day 2. The exam includes a 80 question multiple-choice test and a practical firearms handling test.

Exemption from the practical test

If you have already taken the CFSC you can be exempted from the practical examination of the CORE, but you must be able to supply your CFSC Course Report as proof, without this you will be required to complete the practical examination. Please note that a valid PAL (gun license) is NOT accepted as proof for exemption for the practical test as per BCWF regulations.
