Gem-A is one of the leading providers of gemstone and diamond education worldwide, and provides the essential building blocks for a good practical grounding in the knowledge and enjoyment of gems. All our courses are balanced to suit both the beginner and those who may already be involved with gems. So whether you are looking for an introduction to gems and gemmology, bead stringing classes, a refresher course or tutoring on the latest synthetics and treatments for you and your staff, Gem-A can offer a short course suited to your needs.

Our short courses and workshops provide training to the highest standard in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with class sizes limited to ensure maximum tutoring per student. Our tutors are highly qualified within their various fields and our classrooms are well equipped.  We have a vast array of teaching stones for students to handle, observe and study. For all our workshops, materials and notes are provided.

Short courses and workshops are held at Gem-A London and run from 10.00 am to 4.30 pm each day, unless otherwise stated. Due to limited class sizes, early booking is recommended.
