Dear all,

I am looking to join an appraisal course very soon in the future. As the only school in London has been closed down, I was wondering if anyone can kindly suggest any course at all. I have found International School of Gemology and The Master Valuer Program, which are both online program? If possible, some feed backs on them would be great. Or any other advices are much appreciated.

Thank you for your time. Have a great day :)

Hello LaShawn,

Many thanks for your kind help.

However, I have already looked to IRV, unfortunately Early in 2010 the N.A.G. Board of Directors accepted the request of the Institute to withdraw the JET Valuation Course which lead to the Professional Jewellers' Valuation Diploma Exam as they felt that the modules were somewhat dated and lacked certain valuation elements. And a new appraisal course is yet to be launched...(hopefully this year)

This is one of the reason that I am looking at other options, too :(

However, your time and help is very much appreciated!! I shall also contact your friend Adrian Smith to seek advices. Thank you for the recommendation! I will try any possible way to gain my first step of learning to be an appraiser!! :)

O:) Dear All. MasterValuer, International is in full swing. We have many new students as well as graduates and many of our graduates are on this forum. so please contact me through http://www.mastervaluer.com because I sometimes do not get to GOL fast enough.

LaShawn did mention this to me, could not access my gemology online account so I am using Mel's and here I am a few days late. Thanks LaShawm and Christine and I look forward to hearing from those who need the appraisal education services. There are several 3 day workshops scheduled also for 2012. Best regards, Dee info@mastervaluer.com
