Comparing jewellery education on price alone is like comparing parachutes on weight alone. Evaluate value with four questions:

1. What does the fee include? Materials (silver and gems count), tool access, studio time outside class, assessment and certification. A "cheap" course excluding materials and studio access can cost more in truth.

2. What is the ratio? Price per supervised instructor-hour, not per seat (why).

3. What does it leave behind? Assessed portfolio pieces plus a certificate that stacks toward a recognised diploma (the stack logic).

4. What does the school protect? CPE registration, transparent agreements, published reviews (the reviews page) — the accountability layer (explained).

Where numbers live — on the school's own pages, never secondhand: the course guide and the calendar.
