Awesome Vikaryous, I had the opportunity to apprentice a few years ago, but ended up not being able to sustain the hobby at the time, I had to pass it up. Hope to find a way to do it someday when I am able too. I'm very excited for you! If you're interested, I found Falconry: the essential guide by Steve Wright and Practical Falconry by James McKay to be excellent learning material.
Best of luck!
