The Hellenic Hunters Facilitated R-Licence Accreditation Course

R-licence accreditation helps ensure hunters are responsible, competent and have a good clear knowledge and awareness of legislation, public safety and animal welfare. Completing the R-Licence Accreditation Course, part of the Hunter LEAP education and training program, satisfies the R-Licence training requirements.

Hellenic Hunter have 4 accredited Hunter LEAP program providers.

The R-Licence Accreditation Course takes about 60 minutes to complete and is an open-book multiple choice assessment.

'Open-book' means you can look through the Hunter Education Handbook, which is supplied to you at the venue, for answers to the multiple-choice questions. It's your ability to think critically and creatively that is being tested, not your ability to memorise and recall facts.
