Looking for the BEST school with everything included in tuition?? Please help

Re: Looking for the BEST school with everything included in tuition??

I'm not sure you are going to find exactly what you want. Just pick a good school and call them and discuss the price of capes and antlers or skins that you want. Add that to your tuition and pay it all at once.
If I were to go back in time I would check out Troy Rose and still to this day considering checking into some advanced instruction.

 

I cannot say but look at the work they put out as well as their past students. If you find it appealing than check em out.

 

Kindred Spirits School of Taxidermy in West Burlington, Iowa. Teach everything you need to know, to include tanning and advanced habitat construction. Also have on-site housing. If your a vet they are an approved school through the Department of Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehab program. Very great environment, very personable staff, and excellent one on one instruction. You also leave with the basics of tools to be able to start off on your own.

 

If your eligible for chapter 33/ post 911 benefits at the 100% level, you are covered by the VA.
Being 100% disabled, VA Voc Rehab will cover all your costs. Either way, it wont cost you anything.

 

Of course every school is going to tell you they are the best! They want your tuition money. The "BEST" is a matter of opinion. Make a list of potential schools and see which one meets your idea of what you want to accomplish. Get the names of students who attended their course a year or more ago and contact them. Once they opened a shop or went to work for someone else ask them what they liked about the course and any voids they thought the school needs improvement on. Whoever you choose good luck to you.

Your first step is to go to www.gibill.va.gov and click on "Apply for Benefits"
After your application has been processed; you will receive a letter of eligibility from the VA.
That will tell you, in writing, how many months of benefits that you have left.

 

I did not use my GI Bill for the taxidermy training; rather I used it for college years ago and gave any remaining to my daughter. I strictly used the Vocational Rehab for my training. Covered the total cost of tuition and housing plus standard start up tools. In all actuality JoAnne at the school would be able to get you the paperwork and have it sent in for your schooling. As long as you are eligible for VA Vocational Rehab she will handle the details of it all from what I remember. It is worth the phone call. Tell her I referred you; Jeff Bittner at Twin Rivers Taxidermy in Iowa. Best decision I ever made. There are other great schools out there, I am not saying that. What I am saying is that when I was researching this from Baghdad, Iraq I made my decision to enroll here with no regrets. Best of luck.

 

While I can't comment on the quality of instruction at Kindred Spirit Taxidermy yet, I can say JoAnne has been great to work with while I have been getting set up with the VA. I will be starting class in January and she has helped me get ready. As soon as I got my Certificate of Eligibility back from the VA and sent to JoAnne, she was able to get the next set of VA paperwork filled out and filed in two days! I was very impressed in the turnaround time. Now I'm just waiting on the final VA approval. I can't wait. I hope to see you in class in a few months!

Thank you for your service, I’m not sure how it works, but be very careful opening a business with your 100% status thru the VA you don’t need them trying to pull or lower your percentage cause you are working or have a business.

 

First Thanks for your service. Second. Real full time taxidermy is physically and mentally demanding. Be sure you're up to the task before wasting your benefits on maybe the wrong choice. Think about it.

If there are any other 100% disabled vets out there in Taxidermy Land. The United Taxidermist Association certifies your membership for free. Veterans, Seniors and First Responders with nice discount.

 

I'm a vet, too, though not disabled and I've been researching this as well. Looks like for me it'll be Second Nature School of Taxidermy in Bonner, MT. There are several courses to choose from, and each are two weeks. Capes, forms, and supplies are included, though lodging is not, the school has some RV spots and local hotels have discounts for students. I don't know of ANY taxidermy school which offers on-site lodging. Good luck!
