The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) program is British Columbia’s hunter education program.

The CORE course covers safe firearms handling, conservation, ethics, law & regulations, first aid & survival, and bird and animal identification. This course is required for BC residents 18+ years to obtain a BC Hunting Licence.
The CORE includes both a practical firearm handling test, and a written exam. We strongly encourage students to pre-read the manual as well as complete the chapter reviews for the greatest likelihood of passing examinations.
The course fee includes tuition and one exam attempt. Manuals and BCWF licence fees are extra.
Youth: BCWF allows children as young as 10 to take the course, however, we request that a paying adult accompany children under the age of 14 years as the days are long and the student may need assistance with reading and comprehension of course materials. Regardless of age, all students receive the same examination. Parents are not allowed to assist with examinations. The course reading and comprehension level is a minimum of grade eight and in English. (Access more information about reading and comprehension minimum of grade eight.)
