Find a Taxidermist with Guild Qualifications |
Choosing a Guild Taxidermist with qualifications is highly recommended. Although the Guild of Taxidermists does not recommend individuals, our qualification system records the level of skill demonstrated by our members who have had their work independently judged by qualified professionals, giving you the opportunity to choose a Taxidermist who is suitably qualified and experienced to undertake the work you require. Higher credits / Master Taxidermists: Higher credits are awarded for work of an exceptional standard. Being awarded 3 higher credits in one class results in the qualification of Master Taxidermist e.g Master Bird Taxidermist. Standard credits: Standard credits are the building block of the qualification system. A standard credit is given to specimens that are judged to have a high standard of anatomical accuracy, quality of workmanship and finishing. Resulting in a score on, or above the threshold of a high commercial standard, but which fall short of the criteria of a higher credit. An Accredited Taxidermist has been awarded standard credits for Bird, Mammal and Reptiles and has demonstrated a high level of ability across the spectrum of Taxidermy disciplines. A Specialist Taxidermist has been awarded minimum of 6 standard credits across a range of mounts, this demonstrates an overall ability to produce a consistent high standard of work in each category. For example, a Bird Specialist must have been awarded a standard credit for a raptor, a game bird and a small passerine (sparrow or similar) and 3 others. Any advertised qualifications should be verified against the official tables below |
