The National Rifle Association of America’s award-winning free Hunter Education online course is now available in the State of Louisiana, the latest addition as NRA works tirelessly to make the course available to hunters in all 50 states.
Since the inception of the program in 2017, NRA has provided nearly 220,000 students free online hunter education, fostering the interest and expansion of new hunters and shooters across the country.
“The NRA developed this free online course with one main goal in mind: to make it easier for new hunters to get into the field,” Josh Savani, Executive Director of NRA General Operations said. “We are pleased to partner with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to bring this no-cost program to the residents of The Sportsman’s Paradise. The NRA has been and will continue to be the leader in providing the very best hunter education and training in the country.”
Louisiana joins Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia as states that accept NRA Hunter Education as a prerequisite for hunting licensure.
“The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is proud to partner with the NRA to offer the public a free online option for hunter education certification,” Tyler Bosworth, Secretary for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said. “This partnership expands access to this required course, giving more people the opportunity to get certified conveniently and at no cost.”
Designed and provided by the National Rifle Association of America—the organization that built the first-ever hunter education program in the U.S. in 1949—the NRA Hunter Education online course offers a fresh and fully comprehensive approach to hunter education. The 15-chapter, online sequence features attention-grabbing videos, eye-catching graphics and diagrams, interactive modules, audio recordings and dozens of action photos.
