5 Week Full Course
200 hours
Classes fill up fast and are booked on a first come first
served basis.
Reserve your spot early!
Signing up at least four months prior to the class you want to attend is
recommended.
This gives us time to find the best quality and the best price on specimens
for your mounts.
Class size is limited to six students per class. Enrollment reservations are
accepted at any time before the first day of class, as long as there are
openings available.
The cost for the 5 week Course is $4,800.

Students taking the full course are supplied with a set of taxidermy tools that are theirs to keep. In addition to your tool kit you will receive a personalized notebook full of helpful printed information, business and record keeping forms and numerous taxidermy catalogs.
The cost of tuition does not include specimens and forms.
Job Placement:
Since our courses are geared for students who plan to open their own
businesses, our graduates do not often need job placement services. However,
we periodically receive calls from taxidermists looking for new employees.
We keep a current file of these openings and pass them on to interested
students.
