Gemology education and training
Practical knowledge for professionals and gemstone enthusiasts.
AGLI offers specialised education and is developing an e-learning platform with expert-led courses, useful resources, and interactive learning experiences in gemology.
Education is part of the institution
Testing answers one item. Education improves the next decision.
AGLI’s learning work is intended to help students, jewellery professionals, traders, collectors, miners, and buyers understand gemstones more confidently. The focus is practical: how materials are identified, how reports should be read, how grading works, and where market claims need closer scrutiny.
Learning areas
Topics grounded in the work of the laboratory.
Course formats and availability should be confirmed directly with AGLI. The upcoming platform will expand access to expert-led learning and resources.
Report literacy / public verification
A useful starting point
Learn to read the record before relying on the claim.
- Match the submitted item
Compare the item, image, measurements, and identifying information where available.
- Read the recorded findings
Use the laboratory wording rather than extending it into unsupported marketing claims.
- Review comments and limitations
Mounted conditions, treatments, or clarifying comments can affect how the record should be understood.
- Verify current status
Check the certificate number or QR code before a high-trust purchase or transfer.
Priority assistance
Ask about courses, workshops, and the upcoming e-learning platform.
