The Graduate Diamonds Diploma Program (Blended) is a perfect balance between theory and practical components, providing the flexibility to study the remote portion of the programme where you want while continuing to meet your commitments.

The comprehensive twelve-week programme aims at providing the technical expertise needed to grade, buy, and sell diamonds with the insight of a seasoned professional. The diploma programme also explores the GIA diamond grading procedures to assess the 4Cs and how they affect diamond value.  

Esha Rajendra Mutha, now a GIA Diamonds Graduate, added, "It was a great learning experience. The programme offered remote and classroom sessions that helped me fulfil my commitments. I would also like to thank all the instructors for being patient and helping me with all my doubts.”
