Why I created the Jewellery Diplomas for you
Why did I create the Jewellery Diploma courses?
As enrolment for the Diploma program closes tomorrow (Friday 2nd June 2023 at midnight!) I thought I would let you know why I created the Diploma courses, why they are important to me and to the students that take them.
1. Incremental learning is the key
Our graduates often say that they can't believe how much they have learnt in a year. The secret to this is that each course is purposefully designed to ensure that every week you build on what you've learnt in the previous week. So you are continually practising the skills from previous weeks while adding new skills. This means that by the end of the course, your knowledge and skill are greater than the sum of its parts. It's not just about being able to make the individual projects you've learnt on the Diploma - you've learnt the skills to make your own jewellery designs.
2. Your pathway to success: a curated journey created by experts
The internet has been fantastic for making learning more accessible. But the problem with this is that it can be a slow process. And we are all guilty of picking and choosing the techniques that most appeal to us without considering the fundamental skills we need to make that work. We can't blame ourselves for this - we don't know what we don't know. The Diploma courses are designed by experts to take you step by step along the path you need to follow, starting with getting the fundamentals right before building your skill level
3. Building a jewellery business
I've met and worked with a lot of jewellers that have done a jewellery degree. Many graduates came to the London Jewellery School to learn the skills they didn't learn on their degree course! I can't tell you how many graduates came to LJS to learn how to make an engagement ring (FYI that is included in the Year 1: Diploma in Silver Jewellery. So is making gold wedding rings).
The Diploma course projects are designed to teach you how to make jewellery that is commercial and desirable. While you don't have to be planning to start a jewellery business to achieve the Diploma, the majority of our students do.
(And fyi there are no essays to write. The course is 100% practical).
4. The skills you want to learn
I'll be honest with you, I created the Jewellery Diploma courses I wanted to do! There is nothing like these courses anywhere else
You have the flexibility of an online course so that it can be done from anywhere in the world and fit into your schedule
The courses are professionally filmed with extreme close-ups meaning that you see more than you would if you attended an in-person workshop
You get lifetime access to the course content
You're assigned a working jeweller as a mentor for one-to-one support and mentoring throughout the course
To learn from the tutors on the Diploma courses you'd need to visit England, Scotland, Poland and the USA. I'm bringing them all to your home. You're welcome!
