Hunter Education Program Next Step Courses
The NYSDEC Hunter Education Program (HEP) is piloting a limited number of Next Step courses for those who have already completed a hunter education, bowhunter education, or trapper education certification course and want more education and hands-on experience. Each four-hour course focuses on safety, techniques, and hands-on experience. There is no certification offered with these courses. All Next Step courses are free, but registration is required. You will need your certificate number to register for a Next Step course. The minimum age to take a Next Step course is 12 years old.
