Practical tuition is integral to qualifying in your ourse. Experience in the practical aspect of gemmology is necessary for both your understanding of gemstones and familiarizing yourself with gemmological instruments and the interpretation of test results.
Our practical providers allow ODL students to study the practical components of their course closer to home. If you are interested in practical tuition please contact the appropriate provider directly. Please note that some ATCs also act as GAPP centres and offer this
practical tuition separately from their other courses — please contact individual ATCs to see what is available.
A full list of current GAPPs appears in the table below.
