If warranted, instructors are encouraged to give students a retest when student failure is based on the written examination, but students failing the training program on the basis of attitude or skills should be referred to future training courses. A written examination is used to evaluate student knowledge. All students will take a 75-question test developed jointly by the Department of Fish and Wildlife and hunter education instructors. Instructor observations of student classroom performance form the basis for this evaluation. There is no percentage score for the attitude evaluation.
Students receive either a pass or fail.
Student attitude will be evaluated according to the following uniform criteria. Student firearm handling skills will be evaluated according to one or more of the following uniform criteria. There is no percentage score for the skills evaluation. Students receive either a pass or fail mark. In addition to the three mandatory evaluations of knowledge, attitude, and skill required for all students, instructors may choose to include optional evaluations in the training program.
