The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) program is British Columbia’s hunter education. It is also a great program for anyone interested in outdoor recreation.
The CORE Program consists of a practical firearms handling test, and a written examination on all the following subjects:
- Conservation
- Ethics
- Laws and Regulations
- First Aid and Survival
- Firearm Safety
- Animal Identification
- Bird Identification
The CORE Manual and the Hunting and Trapping Regulation Synopsis are the resource manuals used to learn these subjects.
BC residents who are 18 years of age or older and who wish to obtain a hunting license are required to complete the CORE program.
The B.C. Wildlife Federation’s CORE is now available to study fore your CORE exam online.
The goal of the CORE Program is to ensure that prospective hunters meet acceptable standards of knowledge and skill for safe and ethical participation in hunting recreation.
