Our Basic Gem Identification Course teaches you the essential skills to start identifying the most commonly encountered gemstones using gemmological techniques, including the identification of lab-grown diamonds.
You’ll also learn our practical coloured stone grading system, enabling you to grade and value gemstones consistently, so you can buy and sell with confidence.
Whether you’re a jeweller, salesperson, or enthusiast, this course will give you the knowledge you need to start identifying the most common gemstones passing through the trade undetected and to value them.
We offer this course in-person at our college in Cape Town.
