Choose a Taxidermist with Guild Qualifications |
Although the Guild of Taxidermists does not recommend individual Taxidermists, our credit tables enable you to identify taxidermists whose work has been independently assessed by qualified professionals. This gives you the opportunity to choose a taxidermist who is suitably qualified and experienced to undertake the work you require. Higher credits are awarded for work that is of an exceptional standard of anatomical accuracy, quality of workmanship and finishing . Being awarded 3 higher credits in one class (across a varying range of specified species groups) results in the qualification of Master Taxidermist e.g Master Bird Taxidermist. An Accredited Taxidermist has been awarded standard credits for Bird, Mammal and Reptiles and has demonstrated a high level of ability across a wide 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. Standard credits: Standard credits are the building block of the qualification system above. A standard credit is awarded to specimens that are judged to have a good standard of anatomical accuracy, quality of workmanship and finishing.
