The Gemmological Association of Australia provides Excellent Diamond Grading Courses,

by the internationally acclaimed Bill Sechos FGAA.

The courses covers GIA, CIBJO and HRD grading systems, as well as treatments, simulants and synthetics. The Diamond Grading Certificate can be used as the practical part to the full Diploma in Diamond Technology, which you can complete by correspondence with GAA.

The advanced course is a more in-depth study of fancy shapes, old cuts, assessing stones for re-cutting and more.

Full details of the courses are outlined in the brochures listed below.

You can sit one or both courses, though there is a requirement of having previously completed the GAA Diamond Grading Certificate if you intend to do the Advanced Course. The courses can be done in tandem.

The course is limited to 12 students per course, on a first-in first-served basis.

Accomodation is available at the QualityHotel
