There are several, but it would help to know what area he lives in.
I hate to endorse any business, but the closest one to the 'dena is Worth-a-shot over in Millersville. I haven't taken a class there, but they advertise you will walk out waiting for mail from MDSP.
They are acceptable. Earlier reports were that they were not 100% accurate on the MD law section, but its really hard to be so. Reasonable package deal.
Mark,
Thanks for the info. My only business with them was getting a few ink cards, but noticed they offered training. I wish I could say my experience was pleasant, but I was met with attitude and "superior knowledge" at the door. The guy rolling my fingers was super nice!

The least expensive training option that qualifies for HQL is probably taking the Hunter Safety course needed for a hunting license.
Here is the link to the DNR listing of courses:

Or take the on line Texas Hunter Safety course.

Either the TX online Hunter Ed course or lower receiver route are likely the easiest. I've posted extensively about either before and would be happy to help in any way I can.

Is the TX hunter course valid for the training requirement to hunt in MD? If not, I also suggest the MD hunter course. It qualifies for the HQL training and allows him to hunt should he ever want to do that.
I hate to burst bubbles here, but I'm pretty sure only a MD Hunter Safety Course will meet the requirement. I know for a fact they do not accept PA Hunter Safety. I believe it is the live fire "range day" portion of the MD course that meets the requirements of safe firearm handling etc etc. Now if you are just looking to purchase a hunting license, that is a different story.
However, others here may know more about this topic than I do.

Yes, all 48 contiguous states recognize each others hunter education.
How do you know for a fact?
If you have some number associated to your hunter education certificate, it is acceptable.
Some of the older pre-computerization hunter-ed credentials had problems because they weren't standardized. That is the main reason the PA Game commission pulled the hunter education back to their people teaching the curriculum.
Never said I knew for a fact they won't accept Texas, I said I'm pretty sure.When I moved here from PA, I was told by multiple people including MSP that my PA Hunter Safety would not qualify and I needed a live fire. Why would an online course meet it when my in person course didn't?
Maybe the easiest answer for OP is to call MDSP and ask. They are usually pretty helpful. I could have been lied to, but that is my understanding.

Yes, yes you did say "knew for a fact", reread your previous posts

Yes, I know for a fact they do not accept PA Hunter Safety. Thus, I am pretty sure they do not accept Texas.

Well this the problem right here! What the MSP gives you for information is so hit and miss that really they are totally unreliable if you absolutely need a correct answer.
