Testimonials
“It’brilliant. I can´t wait to get on to [BAJ´s diploma programme] and I can´t wait to see where it´s going to take me. I thought I would join BAJ with the intent of honing in on a specific skill but now I´m open to literally anything to do with jewellery. It´s completely opnened up something that I was already passionate about. The atmosphere at BAJ is incredibly supportive. I did four years of university before coming to BAJ and in these six or seven months, I´ve felt more supported within the college than I have anywhere else. It´s been incredible”
