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.
