CONVENIENCE
Through GIA Distance Education you're given the same important information that's taught on campus.
But by having the Institute's acclaimed course material delivered right to your door, you learn without ever
having to take a day off work, or interrupt your schedule. Ultimately, you earn industry-wide recognition as a
trained gem and jewelry professional in the convenience of your home or office.
CHOICE
With Distance Education, you're in total control of when, where, and how you learn. Read your course lessons
anywhere you choose - on a couch, on a beach, on your lunch break. Then, simply complete the course
questionnaires and submit them through our website to receive your results instantly, or mail them to GIA and
your lessons will be processed within two business days.
TIME
Complete courses as quickly as you like - almost all Distance Education courses are self-paced with generous
time limits for completion.
PRESTIGE
Through GIA - the world's foremost authority in gemology™ - you acquire a level of knowledge that
people automatically recognize and respect. You gain confidence and professional credibility that inspires
trust among customers and employers alike.
STUDENT SUPPORT
Your instructor is just an e-mail or a phone call away! GIA's Distance Education instructors are available to
give you quick and convenient help with your assignments. Their enthusiasm and genuine love of gemology and
the jewelry industry is contagious. By offering positive and constructive feedback, Distance Education
instructors see you through every step of your studies.
PRACTICE WITH ACTUAL GEMS
In order to help you complete the practical, hands-on requirements of your courses, GIA lends colored stones
to Distance Education students enrolled in GIA's Gem Identification course living in Italy. You acquire
identification skills by working with actual gemstones. Practice and perfect your skills in the comfort of
your own home - not on the job where mistakes can be costly.
STUDENT WORKROOM
GIA Student Workrooms give you affordable access to all the equipment and gemstones you need to complete the
practical requirements of our Distance Education programs. And a GIA instructor is right there to answer
your questions and proctor your exams.
