Maine Dept of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Reminds Hopeful Maine Hunters of Safety Course Requirements

Safety/Education Courses

List of safety/education courses in your area

Inland Fisheries and Wildlife does  NOT recognize any stand alone on line program for validation for Hunter Safety.
We have been made aware of sportspersons using an online course certificate to show proof of hunter safety.  On line courses do not qualify.
Applicants for an adult hunting license must show proof of having previously held an adult license to hunt with firearms in any year beginning with 1976 or successful completion of an approved hunter safety course. 
States such as New Hampshire do allow online study but students must then attend & complete a one day training program to complete.
Can't find a course for your area? Contact the Regional Safety Coordinator for your area, or the Recreational Safety Division Office at (207) 287-5220.
Do you need to take an outdoor safety course to obtain your license for firearms, archery, crossbow, or trapping?
Maine law requires completion to obtain your adult license unless you have previously done so or have held an adult license.
Hunters and trappers in Maine must attend training courses specific to the license type they wish to purchase. By state law, anyone planning to buy a basic hunting license, archery license, crossbow license, or trapping license, must complete the respective hunter, archery, crossbow, or trapper education course. Individuals may purchase each of these licenses by showing a certificate of completion from the appropriate course, or a previously issued license of the same type.
If you would like to refresh your knowledge of safe and responsible hunting, then taking a hunter education course is a great idea.
Picture of a young bow hunter.
Each year, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife provides more than 350 courses on hunting with firearms, bow and arrow, and trapping. These are attended by roughly 7,500 students and taught by over 800 volunteer instructors trained by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Would you like to learn how to safely operate a snowmobile, ATV or boat?
In order to operate an ATV under 16 years of age, you must complete an approved ATV Safety Course.
Picture of two youngsters paddling a canoe.
The Recreational Safety Division provides approximately 200 courses to about 2,500 students per year for people who want to learn about the safe operation of snowmobiles, boats, or ATV's. Boating safety courses are also provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaries and by U.S. Power Squadrons around the state.

Become a Volunteer Instructor

To become a certified volunteer instructor, you must:
  • Successfully complete the basic course as a student and complete the appropriate application and written examination.
  • Be at least 18 years old with a record free of convictions.
  • Complete an instructor training course.
  • Join an existing team of instructors or organize a new team.
  • Agree to attend training updates/workshops.
For more information, please contact the Safety Division by phone at (207) 287-5220 or email brenda.chaplin@maine.gov. In order to start the certification process, you must contact the Regional Coordinator for your area.

Registering For a Course

Don't wait until hunting or trapping season to take a course; it'll be too late! Most courses are offered in the late summer and early fall prior to the start of hunting seasons. Courses are also offered in the spring. Completion of a spring course gives you time to become familiar with equipment, terrain, and hunting techniques. There are no costs for materials or instruction. Some courses may charge a nominal fee to cover the use of facilities and minor instructional expenses. All students will have to provide a survival kit, with most of the contents available from the home. Pre-registration is required. To enroll in the course, please call the listed instructor at the number given on the course listing.
Courses will include 6 to 12 hours of instruction depending on the subject. Sponsors include school districts, sports clubs, civic groups and others. Courses listed as 'Home Study', require attendance at scheduled sessions as well as study at home.
Volunteer instructors schedule each course. Some are completed in a weekend, while others may run multiple evenings, plus a Saturday or Sunday.

Minimum Age

Students must be at least 10 years of age to attend a class for firearms, archery, or trapping. Students under 10 may attend a recreational vehicle course. A person under 16 years of age must attend the ATV training course with that person's parent or guardian.

Duplicate Certificates/Cards

The Department keeps records of graduates from its safety courses. If you have lost your certificate, you may obtain a duplicate from the Safety Division at no cost.

FREE Sports Physicals for Children aged 12 and Up at Seacoast Orthopedics, Benefits Food Pantries.



Seacoast Orthopedics & Sports Medicine (SOSMed) will offer free walk-in sports physical clinics for students ages 12 and up on Wednesday, August 5th and Tuesday, August 11th from 5:30pm – 7:30pm at their main office located at 7 Marsh Brook Drive in Somersworth.
While there is no charge to obtain a pre-participation physical evaluation during the clinics, students are asked to bring non-perishable, non-expired food items to donate to the Community Action Partnership of Strafford County (CAP) food pantries.
CAP is a private nonprofit established in 1965 that helps families and individuals meet their basic needs through early childhood and parent education, job training, food and nutrition services, utility and housing assistance, homeless prevention and transportation for seniors. The agency, which provides services across Strafford County, operates food pantries inside its Dover and Farmington Outreach offices.
“We are so grateful to Seacoast Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in helping stock our food pantries during what is traditionally a challenging time of year,” says Betsey Andrews Parker, CAP’s Executive Director. “Community partnerships such as this are what make a difference in the lives of those in need every day. And in the late summer, our food pantries are often low on food but still experience a very high demand so this is a great time of year to donate to our pantries.”
In addition to the two sports physical clinics, SOSMed will collect donations throughout the weeks of August 3rd-7th & 10th-14th at their Somersworth location. Employees, patients, and community members are welcome to contribute to the collection effort. At the end of the two weeks, SOSMed will match the food donation collection with a monetary donation (based on the value determined by CAP).
