From the Alberta trapping regulations.

Mandatory Requirements for First-time Trappers

A “first-time trapper” is a person who has:
1) never before held a licence in Alberta or elsewhere that authorized the trapping of fur-bearing animals, or
2) not completed a fur management course.

Before obtaining any fur management licence, first-time trappers must:

complete a Trapper Education course. and

pass a test which deals with humane trapping and fur management.

Trapper Education

For information on course locations and times, please contact the Alberta Trappers’ Association, Box 6020, Westlock, Alberta T7P 2P7, phone 780-349-6626,
fax 780-349-6634 or www.albertatrappers.com (http://www.albertatrappers.com).



How and where to obtain the required license is cover in the course.

You have to take a trapping course that is three days long and costs $420. The Association conducts one every month in Westlock. They will conduct the course in other locations in Alberta if there are 10 or more students and if you have a location where it can be conducted. Otherwise, there are two Private Trapping Schools that charge about the same. Good luck.

Great up to date info. I feel outdated. When I instructed twenty some years ago the course cost students 40.00 and 20 bucks for a 2 inch thick manual. The course was 4 hours a night for 5 days and one 8 hour field day. A F&W officer would usually show up and teach a couple hour module too.
