The two-month Jewelry Technician Intensive (JTI) Program, led by Alan Revere, is the most effective way to build the skills and confidence to succeed as a bench jeweler. The Intensive’s full time format is the perfect way to prepare for a career in jewelry. Instruction covers all of the material taught in the 11 required JT classes, plus the basics of hand engraving and lots more. Students meet designers, bench jewelers and manufacturers.
Class meets for 8 hours each day, Monday through Friday and includes a minimum of 2 hours open studio time to practice what you learn. The optional JA Bench Jeweler Certification exam (level 1) is held after the Intensive. Tuition for the JTI (320 hours) is $6999, plus $755 kit fee. Prerequisite: Fabrication 1 or basic experience.
