A traditional, classroom-setting Hunter Education and Firearm Safety Class has been scheduled for this August at the Janesville Fire Hall. The two-day instructional series is designed to prepare students for safe, responsible and ethical hunting practices.
In an effort to raise safety and conservation awareness, California’s first hunter education law was enacted in 1954. Today, California law requires hunter education training for anyone who has never held a California hunting license, does not possess a valid hunter education certificate, or does not have a hunting license from another state or province issued within the past two years.
Classes will be held August 1st and August 8th, at the Janesville Fire Hall, 463-390 Main Street in Janesville. Students must attend both days of instruction to take the final examination and receive their certificate of completion.
Important Notes for Parents & Guardians
Classes are offered throughout the State by more than 1,000 certified volunteer instructors, all dedicated to keeping hunting safe, ethical, and available to all Californians. If you have young students attending, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
Consent Forms: If the student is under 18 years of age, a required Student Consent Form must be signed by a parent or guardian.
Supervision & Mentoring: Parents or guardians are highly encouraged to attend with young students, especially those younger than age 16, to help define new words or provide additional mentoring during and after class.
Examination Policy: Generally, parents and guardians will not be allowed to assist students while they are taking the required final exam.
