The honest split: knowledge travels; skill needs a studio.
Transfers online — gemmology theory, aesthetics and trends, business skills. The school runs a fully-online gemmology entry (GT100e) as proof.
Never fully transfers — torch work, stone setting, intricate weaving: proprioceptive skills needing an instructor's hands to correct yours. Any school selling a fully-online bench diploma is selling the syllabus.
Blended done right — theory by video before class, studio for the doing, video for revision after (explained).
The school-choice implication — ask how each course you want is delivered, and WHY. The answer reveals the school's honesty about its own craft.
