Hunter Education Teacher Training (HED)

This workshop was set up to certify Crocker R-II Ag. teachers as volunteer HED instructors.

This workshop is to train and certify Missouri teachers who want to teach the Hunter Education (HED) Course in their classrooms. This training is open to school teachers who teach in South Central Missouri Counties. Missouri teachers from other counties may attend but must contact the Conservation Educator for their county and receive approval and/or complete an interview prior to the training. 

Candidates must have successfully completed Missouri Hunter Education as a student prior to the instructor training. If you need to take HED or look up your HED number, visit MDC’s Hunter Education page Here: Hunter Education | Missouri Department of Conservation.

All Hunter Education Instructors in Missouri are staff volunteers with MDC and must submit a Volunteer Application and Background Check form. These documents may be obtained from and submitted to your local Conservation Educator. If you register please email Dwight Warnke: Dwight.Warnke@mdc.mo.gov to obtain volunteer paperwork ONE WEEK PRIOR to the training DATE OF JULY 31.

All Missouri HED Instructors are required to sign work agreements each year and report time worked on the HED Program within 30 days. 

Thank you for your interest in Missouri Hunter Education.
