There are several schools around that will teach you the basics of Taxidermy, but they usually cost a fortune. I learned from a local taxidermist that would let me sit and watch. When he got done with all of his work he showed me the basics. That was 2 years ago and I now have my own shop and am taking in plenty of work to keep me busy. If I didn't have a this as a part time and my typical full time day job than I too would be willing to teach someone who was interested in learning. Just keep your eye open you may find someone willing to do the same. Good luck.
