Starting the JTI program in my 50's I wondered if I was too old. Now that I am finished, all I can say is ABSOLUTELY NOT! The training definitely was INTENSE, but I loved every minute of it! Now I am expanding my repertoire of skills by taking more classes in the Open Session, working toward my Graduate Jeweler Diploma. I have found a new passion, my mind is completely invigorated, and I see that there are no limits to the directions I can take my skills.

The Jewelers of America Bench Jeweler Certification is a national certification exam. The exam is optional, but recommended for those who seek employment in the jewelry industry after graduation. It tests your ability to repair jewelry, set stones, and perform basic fabrication techniques. The exam is offered at the Revere Academy.
The Revere Academy participated in the development of these tests and is an authorized JA test site. Our Diploma Programs are intended to provide the training needed to prepare candidates for testing at the first two levels. The Jewelry Technician Diploma Program leads beginners through a training curriculum in preparation for the first level of testing–JA Certified Bench Jeweler Technician. The Graduate Jeweler Diploma Program prepares students for the second level, JA Certified Bench Jeweler.
