Online Learning
DISCOVER OUR NEW ONLINE PROGRAMME FOR 2026
Join Us Virtually in 2026 / 2027
The 2026 Online Jewellery Skills & Design Course offers the same comprehensive curriculum as our established one-year in-person programme, however, now conveniently available remotely.
This is not a ‘watered down’ online version of our established on-site course. It has evolved at the request of students who would like to attend full-time but cannot re-locate or attend on-site.
The Remote Programme follows the same year-long curriculum as our in-person course. The difference is where you work, not what you learn or how closely you are taught.
This is a mentored apprenticeship-style programme. It offers real skill aquisition, over one year, with sufficient access to Deirdre, your professional tutor and most importantly, physical studio time.
This course includes 5 individual weeks of on-site training spread evenly throughout the course duration. Supporting documentation with course module demonstration videos and module assessments (Online and In-person) to monitor the student’s progress and ensure skill development.
Upon enrolment, you will receive detailed advice on materials and home bench setup to support your learning from home. A full materials list is provided, enabling you to prepare effectively for each module.
