     In developing this course it has been determined that many Hunter Education Instructors have already completed a majority of the requirements for Advanced Instructor. Most of these instructors have been teaching for at least two years, have a Red Cross First Aid/CPR card, and are Certified NRA Rifle and Shotgun Instructors. As soon as they complete a qualified Hunter Ethics & Responsibility Course they will be eligible for the Expert Instructor Rating.
 
     Hunter Education Instructor Association of Southern California realizes that their may be other instructors who have taken courses that will fulfill the intended requirements of the program.
