Hello,

Thanks for your question. Hmm Where in the world are you ? the GIA Courses are roughly the same...If you are reffering to the Graduate Gemmologist GG. Not alot of people that i know are taking that course. I have an extensive knowlege of all sorts of gems, stones, accesoried jewellery, diamonds etc....but it's the extensive cost that is attached to it that puts people off. If you are in london its about £3,000 and you have to pay upfront.

The American site states, $14,695 as the current price.....

Another course is called the A.J.P Priced at £400-410 fairly reasonable in comaprison to the Gemmologist course stated above.

It depends what you want, I have to let you know a field in the jewellery sector has to be motivated and it takes an abundance of time to be i would say a professional as far as some ppl i speak to who are in the jewellery business...as you are aware of it's a business that has alot of benefits....

Hope this info helped....p.s. i have the A.J.P ...

My friend took a course through penn foster and after she finished it she found out that employeers dont look at it as a degree or certificate because its not valid in all states. Before you sign up call a phramacy where you live and ask if they look at it as a valid learning experience and make sure its accredited too.
