Southeast Louisiana Firearms Safety, Inc. will sponsor several Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries hunter education classes during each year. When classes are scheduled, they will appear below.

We request that students with special needs notify the instructors before the class begins so that every effort can be made to accommodate the student's needs and ensure the student has every reasonable opportunity to pass the course.

Two course options are available; (1) Traditional, and (2) Home Study On-line. Please see following course information for details.

(1) Traditional Hunter Education Scheduled Classes:

The first day of the traditional classes are offered at Academy Sports, 61107 Airport Rd., Slidell, Louisiana 70460 MAP. A field exercise will be held the following day at the Honey Island Shooting Range MAP. (For questions regarding classes offered at other locations, refer to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website.)

No pre-registration is required, but only the first 90 students to arrive will be allowed to take the course. Once the doors are closed, NO students will be admitted to the course. If you are late, you do not take the course.

Any student 15 years old or younger MUST BE accompanied by an adult 21 years old or older. One adult may accompany more than one child.

No personal firearms or ammunition should be brought to the classroom.

Please remember that you must attend both days (classroom and field exercise) to receive credit for taking the course. No one will be given credit unless both phases are completed ON CONSECUTIVE days. Also, please note that our starting time is now 7:30 AM at Academy.

For questions regarding the Traditional classes in Slidell, contact Bill Barber at (985) 643-6279.

(2) Home Study On-Line:

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries offers a Home Study Course. The course is split into two portions: a home study session and a field day exercise. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FIELD DAY IS A DIFFERENT FORMAT THAN THE FIELD EXERCISE PORTION OF THE TRADITIONAL CLASS OPTION and MAY NOT BE SUBSTITUTED.) You may take the class on-line or request a CD-ROM disc and take the course on your personal computer. The details of the course are found on the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries website.

Participants MUST contact Gene Cavalier (985) 882-9159, as pre-registration for these dates is mandatory. Class size is restricted to the first 50 persons to pre-register!

To pre-register, students must have completed the on-line final exam and PRINTED the results. The printed exam results MUST be brought to the range to participate in the field day. The exam does NOT have to be notarized. No one will be pre-registered for a field day if they have not completed the on-line program. The printed final exam form MUST show a score between 100 and 76; any other score is unacceptable. If the form shows a large negative number, or you have problems printing the final exam form, you should contact Gene Cavalier for assistance and resolve the problem prior to the field day.

At least 15 students must be pre-registered by noon on the Friday before class. If 15 people are not pre-registered, class will be cancelled and those pre-registered students will be moved to the next class.

The state requires that at least 5 students attend a class. If less than 5 students attend the field day class, the class must be cancelled.

Students are advised to arrive at the range at least 30 minutes prior to the start of class; once the field day class has begun, late comers will be turned away.

Personal firearms or ammunition will not be used during the field day exercise. However, you may bring your firearms to shoot at the range following the class.
