Basic Hunter Trapper Education (HTE)

By law, all first-time hunters and trappers, regardless of age, must successfully complete Hunter-Trapper Education training before they can buy a Pennsylvania hunting or trapping license.  A training certificate, which is recognized throughout North America, is awarded when you pass a test at the end of the course. 

The training is designed to produce safe, responsible, knowledgeable and involved participants. The results of this program are remarkable. Since 1959, hunting-related shooting incidents have declined drastically. Hunting is safe and getting safer, thanks to hunter education. 

Complete your training entirely online.  This course can be taken on any device, including smart phones, tablets, and computers.  This option is currently available to anyone 11 years of age and older.
