Classes
Professional Level Classes
The Revere Academy's professional level classes are offered during the Open Session. This gives students the opportunity and flexibility to create an individual program to meet their own needs. Classes in the Open Session can be taken to meet the requirements of the Jewelry Technician or Graduate Jeweler diplomas or to learn specialized skills. All of the required classes for our two diploma programs are offered during this time. Most classes are 3- 5 days.
Introductory Classes
Revere's introductory classes teach basic skills that are essential for making jewelry as students complete projects to wear home. Introductory classes are the perfect way to explore your creativity and passion for jewelry. Tools and materials are included.
Diploma
The Jewelry Technician Program can be completed two ways. You can take classes individually, at your own pace, during one or more semesters of our Open Session. Or as an alternative, for those who want total immersion, the 8-week Jewelry Technician Intensive is ideal.
