How does a course day look like?
Each day starts with a class in which you will be taught some theory and how to use this in your taxidermy-practice. Despite being primarily a practical training you do need to bring a notebook. At the end of the course there will be an exam which may give you a certificate. During this class you will also see a demonstration.
After the class and demonstration you can work on your own projects for the rest of the day. During this your trainer will be present and will guide you through the taxidermy process at hand. This guidance you can ask for but will also be given to you unrequested if the trainer thinks it would be beneficial to your work.
There are no set coffee. This does not comply with the nature of taxidermy-work as breaks are not always possible during the flow of your work.
Coffee/Tea are provided but of course you are always allowed to bring your own lunch. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted as are drugs of any kind. Smoking is allowed outside on a designated area of the premises.
