I enjoyed this course so much! I have learnt loads and it's been fascinating. I liked the mix of video and written information, and your infographics are amazing, just spot on. I liked the way the tests worked too, really good to have quizzes along the way to reinforce what's been learnt. I also liked the fact that start/end dates were flexible - such a help! Such a great course and great value for money - can't wait for the next one!

You have created a truly magnificent course. I love the structure and breakdown of all the diamond types, and I will be highly recommended anyone studying gemmology or diamonds to do your amazing course as addition to their studies. I love the layout and presentation of the course so easy to navigate, I especially loved the infographics and being able to fill in the workbook what a great addition. Looking forward to seeing what future courses you create.
