Our Six Week Full Taxidermy Course is offered 3 times per year, and our Economy Courses are offered twice per year. (See dates above.) Please call before sending in your deposit and enrollment application, to make sure there are openings in the class you wish to attend.

CLASS HOURS
For our full six week courses we hold classes on weekdays from 8:00-5:00, with 30-45 minute lunch breaks. Our six-day economy courses are scheduled Monday through Saturday, 8:00-5:00 although it is possible you may finish early on Saturday. A refrigerator and microwave is available for those who wish to bring lunch to class.

HOLIDAYS
We try to arrange our schedule so that no major holidays occur during classes. In the event a holiday does occur during class, (4th of July & Labor Day, etc.) no time will be taken off and class will take place as scheduled.

EXTRA CLASS TIME
Many of our students ask about spending extra time after class for additional training. Although we admire this type of enthusiasm, our school does not offer extended training in the evenings, unless we feel it is absolutely necessary. Our taxidermy teaching experience has taught us that it is necessary for students to have their evenings free in order to allow information to sink in, and also to avoid taxidermy 'overload'. Our curriculum is very well balanced, and combines intense hands-on training, with just the right amount of off-time!
