your questions answered
Here are answers to some of your questions.
When does the course start?
Monday 8th September 2025. The course runs until July 2026
That’s quite a long way from now. Why should I enrol now?
Right now we have an 18 month payment plan available to help spread the cost of the course. You can also spread the cost of the materials pack over 18 months too. The course needs to be paid off in full before it ends so this is the best way we know to help people with budgeting.
Which jewellers kiln do you recommend?
We recommend either the Prometheus Mini Kiln 1 or the Paragon SC2. To do the more advanced projects on this course you will require access to a jewellers kiln so this is permission (if you need it) to get one!
Do we get the pieces back that we submit to be marked?
Yes. You send your work to us for marking and we will send this back to you once assessment is complete.
Do we make exact replicas of the projects for marking or our own take on that project?
In the majority of cases, you will be asked to demonstrate that you can do certain skills in the marking criteria but the design of those pieces will be up to you. The only exception is where a project is really complex we recommend you follow what the tutor is doing in order to learn the skills and then once you’ve nailed those you can use them to design your own jewellery.
When are the tools and materials kits delivered?
We’ve partnered with Metal Clay Ltd to ship our tools and materials kits as they are the experts! They are shipped in advance of the start of the course to ensure you have them in time and we will email you when they’re on the way.
May we see a full material list before we place the order to see if we may have most of it already?
Yes! You can find a list of the tools and materials for this course here
How does the pay monthly work? Does the payment start before the course or when you start the course?
We have opened up enrolment for the Diploma now in order to give you the opportunity to spread the cost. You can choose to pay in full or spread the cost with monthly payments. If you choose a monthly payment plan the first payment goes out on the day you sign up and then on the same date every month.
Is there much written work for assessment?
No! The Diploma course is a practical one where you make the projects and submit them for assessment. You are asked to write a paragraph about the inspiration for your final project but no essays are required
How do I find out the price of the course?
You can find a full breakdown of all the payment plans here >
