Decision No. 23 of the National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change “On approval of the Regulation on the procedure for training applicants for obtaining a hunting license in training courses”.

This Decision establishes the procedure for training applicants seeking a hunting license. It implements earlier presidential decrees aimed at improving hunting management and hunting-related activities. The regulation requires prospective hunters who are at least 18 years old to complete a specialized training course covering biodiversity conservation, animal species and anatomy, hunting rules, hunting ethics, hunting methods, and first aid before they can obtain a hunting certificate.
The regulation details the organization of training courses by the Department for Eco-territories and Hunting Development or by authorized educational institutions. Training is fee-based, lasts 10 hours (15 academic hours), and may be conducted in person or through distance learning. Applicants may enroll throughout the year, and classes are generally organized in groups of 20–30 participants. The regulation also establishes attendance requirements, grounds for expulsion, payment rules, and curriculum standards to ensure that hunters acquire the knowledge necessary for responsible and lawful hunting practices.
The final chapters regulate testing, certification, and appeals. After completing the course, participants must pass a 20-question test, with a minimum score of 70 out of 100 required for success. Certificates are issued within five working days and remain valid indefinitely. Unsuccessful candidates may retake the examination without additional fees. The regulation also creates an appeals process, allowing candidates to challenge test results before an appeals commission and, ultimately, before higher authorities or a court. A standard certificate form and course application template are attached as annexes.
