I think there is some confusion here. So let me try to explain a few things although I don't specifically know that practices of Bass Pro.
In California there is three ways to get a hunting license:
1) Complete a challenge exam and bypass the Hunter Education requirement. This is done at a DFW office and the failure rate is high. If at a later time you need a Hunter Ed certificate (say to hunt out of state), you will have to take the Hunter Ed course.
2) Take a conventional Hunter Ed class. This has to be 10 hours in length, minimum. Some of those hours can be done through pre-study.
3) Do a home-study/internet pre-study. Upon successful completion of the pre-study, you can then take a 4-hour in-class session. This session should contain lecture, hands-on exercises, and the exam.
Generally there is no live fire. Currently most people complete the pre-study through one of three online courses. Prior to the internet pre-study choices, a home-study workbook was given out and you completed that before attending the class. This alternative is still available from some instructors but is not used much any more.
