Classes fill up fast and are booked on a first come first served basis.

Reserve your spot early!

Signing up at least two 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..


Early Enrollment Discount

Class size is limited to nine students per class. Enrollment reservations are accepted at any time before the first day of class, as long as there are openings available.
We do, however, offer an early enrollment discount incentive of $150.00 off the total cost of the full course to students who enroll at least eight weeks prior to the first day of class.

The cost for the 5 week Course is $4,500.

Taxidermy School supplies photo

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 and numerous taxidermy catalogs. During the class, all students have access to shop tools, equipment, hardware, glues, clay, plywood, lumber and other supplies needed to finish their mounts.  Cost of tuition does not include specimens and forms. The full course curriculum is 200 clock hours. Students who work any overtime, (evenings or weekends) might finish before the end of week 5, but will still have the required number of hours to graduate.
 

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.
