“4 days of laughter, brilliance, learning and knowledge exchange. I cannot recommend Derek and The Jewellers Academy highly enough, and would urge anyone who is considering their bench skill development to go here.
This is the kind of training the industry needs. Training that is focused on real world excellence, efficiency, technique, skill, and just doing it properly.. all with a bit of craic too! The course I did was setting level 1 & 2, but it is so much more. Derek’s passion and expertise is delivered throughout, and the amount of information and insight that is shared within 4 days is astounding. From manufacture of settings, control of heat, different tools their uses & sourcing recommendations, workshop management, to the actual setting and different ways of achieving the result.
Classes are small so each individual gets plenty of guidance and attention. No question is too much and the support and feedback you receive from Derek is both constructive and kind. I have left with renewed enthusiasm and confidence to practice and develop my skills at the bench. Look forward to learning more from Derek & The Jewellers Academy in the future.
Thank you so much!”
