Region 4 Hunter Education Classes
Contact the TWRA Region 4 Office at 423.587.7037 or 1.800.332.0900 for more information about classes in the East Tennessee area. The traditional course is free of charge and consists of a minimum of ten (10) hours of classroom participation. Most classes generally last 12-16 hours. Students must successfully pass a written test consisting of 100 multiple choice questions. All students are required to participate in a live fire exercise. Students must attend all classes. Students need to bring their Social Security Number and a #2 pencil to the class. If a phone number or e-mail is provided with the class, pre-registration is required.
In addition to the traditional twelve hour hunter education course the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has developed an online/CD field day course to better accommodate people's busy schedules. There are two ways to complete the home study portion of the online/CD course. One way to complete the home study portion of the online/CD field day is to call your regional office or the Nashville office and request that the home study CD be mailed to you. The home study CD is free upon request. Students must complete all sections, quizzes, and tests at home on their computer. The student then brings the printout of completion to a scheduled field day.
The other option is to complete the home study portion of the online/CD field day online. Students must log-on and complete all sections, quizzes, and tests. The student then brings the printout to a scheduled field day. There are three options available for taking the hunter education course online. The three websites listed are not affiliated or controlled by TWRA.
