Since 1980
What is the Rough Diamond Course?
The Online Rough Diamond Course is based on a curriculum that has successfully trained individuals from all walks of life, since 1980, at our physical school, American Institute of Diamond Cutting (A.I.D.C Inc.), in South Florida. As a single location school, we recognize the potential difficulty it may create for some students to travel to our on campus location. The demand for our curriculum to be made available online has now been met. Intensive reviewing of our lesson plans has been done in order to adapt the curriculum to the internet model of the rough, provided via course subscription. Physical stones that would have been provided in the classroom have now been transferred to high definition photographs, descriptive photograph reviews, 360 degree rotating images of specimens, additional self-tests and interactive lessons. We are proud to offer the first ever comprehensive online rough diamond evaluation program geared for beginners and industry professionals alike.
