APPLY TODAY FOR THE ONE YEAR JEWELLERY SKILLS & DESIGN COURSE BASED IN DUBLIN, IRELAND
IN-STUDIO OR REMOTE-LEARNING
Join us in September
Established in 2015, Jewellery Skills & Design Courses provides comprehensive, professional training in traditional jewellery-making and goldsmithing skills.
Our one-year programme runs from September to June and is designed to develop the practical skills, technical understanding and confidence required to pursue a career in the jewellery industry.
Students can choose between two learning options:
In-Studio Learning – Full-time practical tuition in our Dublin studio, with individual guidance, regular assessments and access to our password-protected Studio Support resources.
Remote Learning – Structured teaching through detailed video demonstrations, practical assignments, individual tutor support and four scheduled weeks of in-studio tuition in Dublin, two of which are compulsory.
Both programmes follow the same curriculum and professional standards, with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship, precision and developing independent skills at the jewellery bench.
