According to the GIA Hong Kong website, Pearls course has 11 written assignments and a supervised final exam:

I was thinking about taking the Pearls course as well - since I am heading to Carlsbad for the lab courses in Oct-Nov, why not spending an extra day (and $295) to finish the lab for Pearls Grading... Does anyone has any insight on whether or not this course worth taking?

I will also see if time permits to finish everything before the labs :?
