Alberta Hunter Training (AHEIA)
Hey guys,
Got a buddy who wants to come out hunting with me this year, however hasn't done his hunter training yet. I was going to get him set up for the online course tonight. Anyone know how long it takes to hammer it out online?. When I did mine 5 or 6 years ago, it wasn't offered online and we had to sit in a class for a few days. Also, once complete, does he have to wait until the certificate comes in the mail (3-4 Weeks according to the website) or can we go buy his bird license right away?. Thanks! |
My son did his this year, 11yrs old, I think there is 12 moduals, took him two or three days, I would guess 4-6hrs then the test took him about 35min.
He did it all on his own and got 88%. I wish he could do that with math.... Lol. |
I done the course in an evening, 3 hours or so. And no, you don't need to wait for the cert, you don't have to physically show anyone when you check the little box to allow your WIN card to allow you to buy hunting licenses

My buddy did his this past week. Once he finished the exam, a screen pops up telling you your passing grade. He took a pic of it with his phone and presented that to the licence issuer with no problems.

My friend just did his this year. It was 3-4 weeks to get the certificate after passing the test, so if you are hunting in November it shouldn't be a problem if your friend works quickly.

This leads me to a much bigger problem which I'll explain once I get an answer. (long story) |

The reason this is bugging me is that my son's birthday is in the middle of November. He's only two now but I'm thinking ahead.:bad_boys_20: The way I remember it is that if you were going to turn legal age anytime during the hunting season, you could apply on draws for that upcoming season. With the new system, you have to be eligible to purchase a hunting licence in Alberta to continue with the draw entry process. If he doesn't have a completed course, he has no number to enter and cannot enter draws. Therefore he misses a year of draw priorities at the very least. That's my issue. |

Will your nephew be old enough (12) this hunting season? My son is twelve this month |

A youngster use to be able to, but with the new system, they can't. |
Well we got my buddy started last night....4 hours in and still have 3 full modules to go tonight...not really a short program by any means as we were skipping through quite a bit of the gun and bow stuff (he's been shooting for years). Hoping to get it done tonight and get him his first bird this weekend. It's been so many years since I did mine, does anyone remember how much identification of animals, gun stuff, etc is on the final exam?
:fighting0007: |
Sorry, a little off topic but do I have to do a sit in course for my Pal or can I do it online....I did not see anything about doing it online..
Thank you |

The exam isn't that bad, 100 multiple choice questions. Not alot on the identification, but some for birds/big game. While it may take a month to get the certificate, your friend can phone aheia the day after completing the exam and they can provide him his cert number over the phone (the system will create it over night).

Well done. I actually need to phone them also today to get my sons number. He did his exam last weekend.

Can anybody tell me if the manual for the online course is the same manual from 10 years ago when we had to do the course in a class? My girlfriend is wanting to get it but there's a cheaper version without the manual. Just wondering if you can use the old manual with the new course?

I didn't buy the book option, its an extra $25.00 for the book and If you need to rewrite its also $25.00 so I figured I had 2 chances to pass if needed. passed on the first try with 90%, that was 2 years ago. It was the bird info that I got most of my questions wrong on |
