Good post 10X
With the kids getting done school this week, and Alberta dropping the rifle hunting age to 12 from 14, this might prove handly for some people.
already got my 11 yr old her package.

I'm doing it "for the children".

Glad it was of use to you.

In reality, it could be of use to any Canadian who has no access to a hunter ed course. The Alberta hunter ed course is one of the best in North America and Europe, and many other hunter ed courses are modeled on it.

It isn't just a hunting course. it is an outdoors/survival/first aid/introduction/ wildlife identfication/conservation/legal/and ethics course at it's base. It should be part of the school curriculum.
 
My eldest is going to do it this summer, when I told him we used to be able to take it at school(back in the day) I think he wanted to punch me.
 
I dont beleive there is any age restriction, although a typical 9 yr. old may have a bit of a time getting through the reading of the dryer sections.
As for being taught in schools I know that in Gr. 8 here the run 2 Hunter Ed courses as an Outdoor Ed in Science option.
My range provides them with free range time for each course.
The problem is getting a teacher qualified as a Hunter Ed. instructor, there are only so many teachers interested and willing to spend their own time and possibly money to get qualified.
 
So my boys can get their hunter credentials through the mail and never have to sit in a classroom? How are they tested - by mail?
 
That's no big whoop. I don't have time to sit through a week of classes, Saturday and Sunday. Doing it by mail is the answer as far as I'm concerned.

My understanding was that they still have to sit the exam with a qualified instructor?

The correspondence kit contains a registration form that is required
for AHEIA to send the exam. That is straight from AHEIA.
I'm not aware that an instructor has to administer the exam.
I suspect it just has to be someone who isn't related to the youth, like a teacher, or Fish & Wildlife officer...
