  • Students for any full-time advanced diploma course must meet the english language requirements stated for diploma courses above.

 Full-Time Specialist Diploma Course

  • Students who already have a Degree or Diploma in another discipline but wish to undergo specialist training in Jewellery Fabrication Techniques or Gemmological Knowledge should consider the JDMIS Specialist Diploma in Jewellery Design & Fabrication.
  • Requirements for this specialist diploma are the same as that of the diploma (ie: High-school or O-level ; N-Level with relevant industry experience) but we recommend students pursuing a specialist design and fabrication track to supplement this heavily skills-based course with other more academic qualifications in a different field such as business.
  • Students for any full-time advanced diploma course must meet the english language requirements stated for diploma courses above.

Short Certification Courses

  • Short certification courses are open to all students with English proficiency. Documented proof of English proficiency for short courses is not required however the requirements listed above for diploma programmes serve as a guideline for the English level that is required.
  • In special cases, where professional jewellers attend courses and feel their English language skills may be a barrier to their training, the school can perform an ad-hoc assessment with a relevant instructor that will evaluate suitability for these courses.

 

 

Note on English Language assessment

Candidates who do not meet the diploma English Language requirement but are competent in the English language may opt to obtain a Workplace Literacy (WPL) statement of attainment (SOA) in Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing under the WDA's Employability Skills System using the Assessment-only Pathway (AOP) at minimal cost from one of several local Continuing Education & Training Centres. 
WSS WPL Level 5 is required for Diploma and Specialist Diploma courses, Level 6 is required for Advanced Diploma courses. A minimum WSS WPL Level 5 is recommended for short certificate courses.
