​
Turn your love for jewellery into a sparkling, challenging new career with the Goldsmith training. Our courses are an efficient way to learn to design jewellery, make or repair it in a traditional way, or get started using the latest 3D techniques. Create, draw, engrave, set and restore rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and necklaces. All specializations are offered.
Beautify your future and follow the Goldsmith training with us.
The full goldsmith training has been offered as a daytime course for several years. The training is intended for students who may already have a secondary diploma and want to become skilled in the profession of goldsmith. Candidates without prior education but who want to retrain within the jewelry sector are also welcome. The complete training takes two years. The lessons are given 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 8:40 am to 4:30 pm. In addition to the classic manual skills of the profession, attention is also paid to contemporary production techniques that are based on 3D computer design and 3D printing supplemented with casting of the jewel.

Since the training is modular, you can also spread the training over a longer period. If you have already obtained the partial certificate for one or more modules in an evening or day course, you can also join the course later in the course.

For the modern goldsmith and certainly for the future goldsmith, the use of CAD software for developing his creations is indispensable.
The number of possibilities that this technique adds to the creation of jewellery designs is invaluable.
The exceptional thing about the 3Design software that is used at school is that it is specially designed for the artisan goldsmith.
It is accessible without any prior technical cad or computer science training. We do not work with difficult commands, but with easy-to-use tool icons. A fully parametric structure ensures that your work remains reworkable and adaptable.
Due to the limited number of participants, two sessions are organized every year.
The 3Design module (Computer design jewellery) is part of the 'Goldsmith' training course, but is offered separately in this series of lessons to professional goldsmiths or interested parties.
