Faculty
and Key Staff
Central
Texas School of Taxidermy
is owned and operated by Kelly
Leifeste.
Kelly Leifeste is a Certified Taxidermist and Director/Instructor.
Personal
Attention
We
offer a very personal approach to teaching which we feel is very
important in learning taxidermy techniques. We keep our classes
small so that we may give you this personal attention. One of
the most important issues: we are here to help you even after you
leave our school with our new 1-800 number. All of our ex-students
may use this number if at any time they need any technical advice.
Facilities
We
are housed in a 2 story building which consists of classroom facilities
75' x 45' and living quarters of 25' x 55'.
Central
Texas School of Taxidermy
is located on the Leifeste ranch which is 10 miles west of Llano
on RR 152. Llano is known for its abundant deer and wildlife and
its beautiful hill country
Tuition
The
cost of our six-week class is $6600.00 and the cost of our two-week
class is $2200.00. These costs will include all specimens, supplies,
tools, chemicals, forms and equipment necessary to complete
this course. All mounts will be the property of the student for

the student must also be able to distinguish colors.
