Welcome to the community!
"Education is the cornerstone of every society. Gathering knowledge and preparing the next generation of gemmologists, diamond graders and designers is our mission. We have managed to assemble a variety of courses, for beginners as well as academic levels, online and in our classrooms globally and even pre-recorded courses to learn from the comfort of your home and at your own pace.
Your passion and dedication for expertise is what drives innovation, trust and transparency in our industry. We will help you in becoming that expert and shape your path in the field of your choice. The diamond industry is a small world but a tight community. Since 1974 we educated more than 240.000 alumni. So be prepared to join a community of excited and enthusiastic people that share the same love for the field of gemmology, jewellery design and diamonds. All in different fields, but all in love with the magic of stones.
But most of all: have fun, enjoy the beautiful world of gemstones and diamonds and really connect with your fellow students. The road to knowledge is just as exciting as the certificate in the end. I promise.”
