In addition to supporting practising jewellers to refine their skills, the short course programme also provide a rare opportunity for those considering becoming jewellers to try out a hands-on activity in the our studios – an excellent opportunity for students who might be considering progression onto longer BAJ programmes.

All of the courses are taught in professional-level bench studios, computer-aided design suites and design studios at the BAJ’s campuses in London and Birmingham, at the heart of the cities’ respective jewellery quarters. 

Founded in 1999, the British Academy of Jewellery is a provider of pioneering jewellery education and training, nurturing talent and technical ability. In addition to short courses, the Academy offers accredited diplomas in jewellery design & manufacture and works with local industry partners to provide jewellery apprenticeships.
