There are lots of gunsmith schools that you can rely on to become a professional gunsmith. In fact, it can be hard to decide which of the many schools is right for you.

One of the greatest programs around is the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School (PGS). The school has been around since 1949 and has been teaching gunsmiths ever since. The curriculum at PGS teaches you to become a master gunsmith. There are no other classes taught at PGS so you will not need to follow any liberal arts classes or English. They just focus on teaching you gunsmithing. Not many other schools that teach gunsmithing are this focused.

Another great school is Trinidad State Jr. College. This gunsmithing school has been training gunsmiths since 1947. It is a two year degree and you will have to take some general education courses. This is a very popular school and spaces are already booked a year in advance. The school will teach you all the skills, such as repairing and modifying a variety of guns and the correct use of the tools needed to be a successful gunsmith. Actually it is so well received that Trinidad State Jr. College has recently opened a new Advanced Third Year Program. You must be a graduate of a gunsmithing school before you are eligible for this new program. The faculty at this school say that they only take the most talented graduates from gunsmithing schools nationwide.

The third great gunsmithing program is Yavapai College, which offers two options of study. You can study in a certificate program or a degree program. If you opt to take the degree program, you will need to take general education courses as well as specific gunsmithing courses. In the certificate program, you do not need to take the general education courses and focus mainly on gunsmithing. Yavapai will help you to qualify as an apprentice gunsmith and all the way to becoming a master gunsmith. The course requires that you earn forty credits which will take you four semesters.
