Are you looking for real training or just a piece of paper ?

[RJ Simington]

Before concidering a taxidermy school or workshop, Ask yourself.

Do I want real taxidermy training that will help me persue the taxidermy trade as an occupation or do I just want a piece of paper that says " I am now a taxidermist "

Without proper training a paper ceretificate is Worthless .

Anyone with a computer & a printer can make a certificate &  you wont have to spend thousands of dollars or waste the instructors time.

There are MANY Very Talented & Proven taxidermists on this site that have Years of justifiable QUALITY .

Find the species you want to learn &  seak out a person that will give YOU the best option.

Remember, The cheapest is rarely the best.

Care to tell us what prompted this post?

Not realy anything but questions from guys that call.

Most of the folks that call us are sincear about wanting to learn but lately a couple of guys have stated that they would like a certificate they can hang on the wall .

We have had some  Very talented men & women come to us for training , But we have also been up front & honest with a couple & told them it wasnt going to work & they agreed , So that saved them the money for the rest of their booked time & saved us a lot of time working with someone that found out that taxidermy wasnt what they realy wanted to do in their future.

I am NOT Pointing fingers at ANYONE with this post.

Well thanx, just curious. It is a fact, though, that there are some hack schools same as some hacksadermists out there. Just do what you do best and, well, you know forget the rest.

Most of the time its the guys youve never heard of.

Hmmmm Wonder why ?
