I have just completed the HDSE Commercial Tanning Course and was impressed and well pleased with everything as a whole. It was very hands on teaching and informative information. The staff was very knowledgeable and produced a fun, easy to learn, step-by-step environment. It was a clean and organized facility and an actual Working Tannery. I would recommend this school to anyone who has a true interest in Tanning. It is a fair price for the knowledge you gain and the specimens you bring home. After the 4 week program I fill confident in starting up my own tannery which is do to the knowledge and in-depth teaching at High Desert Sportsmans Enterprises, LLC.
Sincerely, Cord

To whom it May Concern,
My name is Mathieu Herbelin and I own and operate Bent Penny Taxidermy of Wichita Falls Tx. As a taxidermist I chose to pursue the knowledge and Art of Tanning. After searching across the U.S. and the different options available, I decided to enroll into the High Desert School of Tanning based in La Pine Oregon. The knowledge and experience along with the detailed instruction made learning The Art of Tanning very rewarding. I feel that after this course, I am well enough prepared to expand my business to include tanning and am confident that the products produced will ensure customer satisfaction. The facility and instruction at The High Desert School of Tanning makes for a great learning environment and I would recommend this facility to anyone interested in the Art of Tanning.
Sincerely,
Mathieu
