From first beaded bracelet to silversmithing — a beginner's road into jewellery

The ladder

From hobby to certificate — how jewellery courses stack into a diploma

A live class in session — every certificate course is one rung, taught in the studio, stacking toward a diploma.

The quiet advantage of structured jewellery education is modularity. You
never sign up for "a diploma" — you take one certificate course, then another,
and at some point you look up and you are two courses from a qualification.

Technical sketches from the design track — each ladder has its own craft

How the stack works at JDMIS

Each family is a ladder of certificate courses, foundation to master:

Completed certificates accumulate toward the matching diploma —
Fashion Jewellery Arts,
Fine Jewellery Design
or Precious Metal Arts.

Pacing for people with jobs

Courses run year-round with weekday, evening and weekend patterns — you do
not need to quit anything to do this. The
admissions calendar
holds real dates, and the
sign-up form
is one page.

Before you pick your ladder

Two free helpers: the
2-minute course finder
(personal recommendation) and the
complete course guide
(every ladder, one PDF).
