Mini Academic – 6 Weeks Technical Program

MINI ACADEMIC

A 6 weeks evening program designed in a way that enables curious students who have limited time to be able to study the fundamentals of jewelry making and design in an intensive program with a convenient schedule. The goal is to provide basic and advanced training and technical skills required to design and make jewelry pieces.

We offer 4 different levels depending on the ability, interests and previous experiences of the applicant, each level includes a set of different techniques that keeps advancing until you reach level 4 enabling you to apply the foundational skills you learn through a project

Who is it for?

Beginner and/or advanced students and any designer interested to either specialize in jewelry making or integrate metal pieces in their designs (fashion, shoe & bag making, home accessories…etc)

Benefits: 

After completing the 4 levels of our mini academic program, students are eligible to go through an evaluation by our faculty and are given the opportunity to join our full time academic program – beginner plus level, provided that they present the necessary level of skills
