Ontario Hunter Education Program

The Ontario Hunter Education Program (OHEP) is co-administered by the OFAH in collaboration with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and aims to educate new hunters on all the various aspects of hunting. This comprehensive course covers hunting regulations, the responsibilities that come with being a hunter, wildlife management, safety protocols, equipment usage, hunting techniques, and wildlife identification.

The Ministry now provides two options for taking the Hunter Education Course: online or in-person with a certified instructor. For further information, please visit www.ohep.net.
