"Growing up in the jewelry industry led me to the Revere Academy. I wanted to learn metalsmithing in the best environment, and my father's shop is geared toward getting the job done, not learning. The JTI was taught so that I could understand jewelry techniques both in theory and in practice. I learned more here in the 1st three weeks than I would have learned in one year back home!"

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.
