I have been certified here in Alberta as a Hunter Ed Instructor for around 10 years.
While not mandatory we also have a Fishing Ed course that is similar to the hunting one. Both are excellent course and are rewarding to teach.
We also have an on-line Hunter Ed course for folks who for whatever reason can't take the classroom course. As well we offer mentored hunting to first time hunters.
A very close friend of mine is actually the gentleman who created the Alberta program. He is a long time game warden who, though now retired, is still incredibly involved in all aspects of Conservation Education here.
Go for it, it becomes a way of life, one you will not regret!
