Our School has been successfully teaching residents and non-residents since 1997 to become Registered Maine Guides. We pride ourselves in having the most knowledgeable Instructors as well as students that are eager to learn. Our success rate is in the high 90's - but we cannot take all the credit. Our students have a love for Maine's woods and waters that is second to none and this in itself has made our success easy.

This is NOT a "CONDENSED" class.

It IS a "CONCENTRATED" class.

It is a weeklong school that focuses entirely on becoming a Registered Maine Guide. Our guides program consist of more than 60 hours of learning in a hands on setting.
During this week you will eat, drink, and sleep while becoming one of Maine's best Guides. We feel that the intensity is the most important factor in our students’ success rate for the passing of the Oral and Written exams to become Registered Maine Guides.

TESTING PROCESS
The first part of the testing process of becoming a Registered Maine Guide is the Oral exam. There is only one oral to cover Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation. Tidewater and Sea Kayaking orals are given by the Marine Patrol. Once you have successfully passed all sections of the oral (map & compass, lost person, and general questions) then you may proceed to the written exams. Once you have held your Registered Maine Guide's license for 10 years (actively guiding for 240 hours a year for 5 years in each category) then you will become a Master Guide in that category. Testing fee for each category (Hunting, Fishing, Recreation) is $103.00. We strongly feel that you owe it to the State, yourself, and to whomever you guide, to be as knowledgeable as possible in the areas you have chosen to guide in.
