I had my certificate in a week, really enjoyed the course. Learned a lot and it was nice to just go at my own pace.
|
I took the online course, it is great and offers flexible schedule that can fit everyone's requirements.

Hunter training
My 16 year old son, who lives in Vancouver with his mom, really wants to come hunting with his dad. Can he take the Alberta CORE and firearm safety course or does he have to take the B.C equivalant and is it credible here in Alberta?
Anyone with some insight would be greatly appreciated. |
I took the online course as it was recommended by my PAL instructor. Unlike some of the scholars that precede me on this thread, I only got 93%. I did the whole thing on a Sunday, probably six or seven hours of material there.
Be Careful when completing the knowledge check after the fifth module, if you accidentally press 'next' before completing the check you will be advanced to a review exam. You will, however, not be able to start module six until the knowledge check is complete. It probably took me an hour to figure where I'd gone wrong. It would be nice if the 'next' icon was linked to a key on the key board as some of the chapters are only 20 seconds long. Great course though, I know that I will be a better hunter because of it. |
Quick question. My 15 year old son is really chomping at the bit to go hunting however he lives with his mother in Vancouver. Now she has no desire to help him out with this and I'm wondering, beings as I'm in Alberta, what can I do to help him obtain his hunter training so he can come hunting with his old man??
|
Online courses will have the cheaters just like the boating licence and no on-hands teaching does not promote good learning. I would believe in the online course if it had long answer type questions where the person taking the exam would have to know his course material to write the answers. Then the test might have some merit.
We need to keep our hunting heritage alive but cannot settle for such impersonal education to achieve this task. |

Doesn't change my need to get my son his CORE though. |
I mOved here from Ontario where I took a hunter education course and was issued my outdoors card maybe 15 years ago or so.
When I came to Alberta about three years ago I applied for my win card at Canadian tire and was granted it based on the fact that I had my pntario outdoors card. Did I do everything on the up and up? Is there any specific Alberta information that it would be worth taking this course online for? |

I am taking the course online, and it is outstanding! I am forecasting the exam will be tough, no matter where you take it.
PS. A quick note to those who are against technology... ok, stip down to your underwear, grab a rock and a stick and go hunting with that :)))) |
This course will be great for my wife, taking the class would have been inconvenient with the baby.
|
I am going through it with another son it's been upgraded since skunkboy went through, I love it since we can pause it and talk about things in detail. The upgraded graphics will be huge when we go through the identification section.
|
my question maybe stupid but i still want to ask if there is someone cheating on it. :mad0030:
Is this online program and testing the only requirement to get PAL? people don't have to go to classroom anymore?:thinking-006: |
Anyone taking the PAL training still has to go thru the RCMP reference checks and all that jazz.
Finished the online hunter certification training, technologically speaking: it is awesome, never seen training materials so well put together. Passed the exam with 91%, ready to go hunting :) |
got a question
I registered online with AHEIA and was about to buy the program for my stepson, then got to thinking do I have to register him and buy the program in his name for him to take the course or can I buy it and he take it and they send the certificate in his name... |

Thanks that is what I thought
|
i did the course.
was a great course, having never hunted or been on a hunt before, i learned alot, well worth it.
the book you can buy for 25$ too with WELL worth it ...goes into depth on alot of stuff the online portion doesn't go as indepth. |
My kids just finished it. They did well, but the paper manual was helpful for sure.

I just thought I'd need it since I had to prove that I had the course or had hunted every year in BC. Maybe that would be a handy solution? Just make everyone produce last years hunting license or proof of having taken a course. |
Passed it last night! Now awaiting my PAL. Should arrive in the mail any day!:)
|
Just took the Hunter Education Course online, did it over the course of two days. I thought it was a helpful course and it was worth the time I put into it. Overall I thought it was excellent.

I have done the course online and it was very fast and easy also giving you lots of time to do the exam.
|
I've taken it before. Worthwhile, but found the exam trivial more than a comprehension/ applicable level. It would of been great if the online modules had more animations/ simulations that enhances it, rather than direct from the AHEIA textbook.
Otherwise, besides my little nit picking, it was a worthwhile course and they do a good job of relaying the info. |

I agree, the on line course is handy but the student will get more out of the program if they did it in class and had some practicle lessons. I took this course with my family when it first came about back in 1985 (i was 10) and it was great. If I recall it was once or twice a week in the evening for a month, then we went on a weekend campout where we built our own leantoo, started signal fires, made banick, and shot trap. It was a great experience compared to taking it in junior high school 4 years later. My daughter is comming 12 and if i can get her in on a practicle-hands on class I will but if its not available we will go on line.:) |
On Line Training
How old does a person/child have to be to take the on line training course? Thank You.
|
Finished my course online last night, very pleased with the whole online training and the manual they sent. I went through the modules over the span of four of five days and past well above the 80% requirements in the end, the whole timed thing got me antsy but I did it in under 35 minutes.
Do note, I did find an error! On one of my questions in the module Knowledge Check I was asked a question about the pound requirements for the shaft and broadhead and required me to select two of the four multiple choice answers and was only able to select 1 answer, not two. I did email about it. |
