| Thank
you for your interest in our jewelry training programs, which
were established in 1979. We are continually inspired and encouraged
by the success of our graduates and are pleased to have you visit
our site; take your time, see what we do and contact
us.
It is our goal to provide our students the professionalism and
skills for success in the jewelry industry as a designer, bench
jeweler, stone setter, gemologist or jewelry sales professional.
We provide it all, and include workshops in several specialty
fields.
Starting on your first day, you are immersed in the language,
tools and environment of the jeweler’s bench. The instruction
is intensive and self-directed with the supervision of the full
time instructors. The classroom setting replicates a traditional
jeweler’s setting. You will have your designated bench and
tools and receive hands-on training comparable to the real world.
There is the added benefit of studying with students who have
the same goals and interests in a professional setting.
We assist in job development for those graduates who request this
service. We receive numerous requests for our students. Our graduates
are highly sought after in a very competitive jeweler job market
and their employers report that they possess strong, basic skills,
great attitudes and they are eager to learn more.
Jewelry making and design is one of the oldest, most rewarding
and respected of crafts. The majority of our instructors are full
time staff personnel. All of our instructors have real world experience
in manufacturing, retail and design and they hold teacher certification
with the State of California. They represent over 150 years in
the in industry and include a Graduate Gemologist of GIA and an
F.G.A. member of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
CIJT is the first active Allied
Teaching Center and Allied Gem Tutorial Center , in the USA, for the Gemmological
Association of Great Britain. We offer a full
