Just curious, how do you justify 18+ hours for a 10 hour minimum course?  I do recall correctly that it is 10 hours min. correct?  This is just very frustrating as someone with a child that wants to do HS but has limited time/access to a course.   :dunno:  Thanks H2O for posting the info, and ghost as well.

My son-in-law just moved from Hawaii.  He would like to get in on this if it works with other classes and family schedules.  We have a new hunter in the family.

I took GhostHunters class. It wasn't unjustifiably long. He covered all chapters in the Hunters Ed pamphlet thoroughly and I feel like each class was all encompassing for whatever the topic of the week was. He might go a little above and beyond, but it's worth it I swear!

I don't justify it .
The state requires a class to be no less than 10 hrs instruction.
The last two dates are testing only. One date exam. One date skills test.
I could do them both on one night but it is harder on the students an instructors.
Both will be over in less time,but I have to plan for unforeseen events.
I personally can not teach a 10 hr class. Nor would I .
My goal is to turn out safe gun handlers. Students handle every class.

People who want to rush through are free to take the on line coarse or go with some one else. I am not into quantity ,  but quality.

I encourage anyone to get certified and start teaching.
