Whether supplementing your current enrollment, or updating the skills of your chosen profession, GIA Continuing Education helps you stay up to date with current trends in the jewelry industry.

Benefits for Students – My GIA
GIA has partnered with Apple, Inc. to provide free continuing education online through GIA on iTunes U. Current or former GIA students can access a wealth of digital material that covers many topics including gemstone mining and sources, treatments and synthetics, current industry trends, and more.

With GIA on iTunes U, you use your computer or iPod (iPod not required) to download up-to-date course content that complements your current gemology program or informs you of course information that may have changed since you graduated. You can download audio and video segments featuring valuable information related to your coursework or current profession.

Benefits for Graduates – GIA Continuing Education
What's more, if you already possess either the Gemologist or Graduate Gemologist credential, you are eligible to enroll in GIA's Continuing Education Recognition Program. This program recognizes your efforts to stay on top of current industry trends and lets your customers know that you have made a commitment to provide them with the most up-to-date jewelry knowledge. All you have to do to get started is register.

To access GIA on iTunes U, you must first register with My GIA.
