USEFUL INFORMATION

The cost of our 1-day courses of one-to-one tuition from an industry professional is from £259 (Vat is not applicable)

Other course types such as Foundation Courses; Short Courses; Visiting Tutor Courses etc are priced individually. In some cases tutors ask us not to publish course prices, in this instance we can provide a no obligation course quotation.

The actual cost of your jewellery course depends on which jewellery trade professional is teaching your course.

Course materials are not usually included in the course price because you will be deciding what design to work on during the tuition with tutor guidance and the cost for materials cannot therefore be determined before the course. If course materials are included we will advise this in our course quotation.

A small range of courses can be arranged as one-to-two course so that you can share the course costs with a friend.

Training usually takes place in the tutors own workshop, on day to suit you. (Subject to tutor availability)

Please get in touch if you would like to make an general enquiry and receive a no obligation quotation for tailored training.

We also create one-to-one short courses to fit in with the itinerary of any Jeweller visiting the UK.
