Accredited Jewelry Professional Program

Take your place at the front line of the jewelry industry.

Without sales, there would be no jewelry industry. So it’s no wonder that a healthy understanding of sales and the selling process is essential for almost every career along the gem and jewelry pipeline.

The GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional (A.J.P.) diploma program is designed to prepare you for the sales floor – fast. You’ll focus on critical product knowledge and proven sales techniques – including the timeless romance that jewelry customers crave. The A.J.P. program offers everything you need to sell more diamonds, more colored stones, and more jewelry right away. You’ll develop confidence, be able to provide accurate product information, and make jewelry purchases unforgettable for your customers.

Delivered entirely online through GIA’s new eLearning environment, you can study anywhere you have internet access. The courses use rich media (videos and audio files) keeping you motivated and engaged.  And before you know it, you’ll enter the marketplace with practical and relevant skills – and the prestige of a GIA designation at the end of your name.
