On June 12th the London Diamond Bourse announced the certification of their educational Practical Diamond Knowledge Workshop. Production of the course originally got underway back in 2021 and was officially launched in August 2022, since then there has been a steady stream of participants, and the feedback has been extremely positive.

The course provides attendees with the preferred diamond industry practices to help improve their confidence and sales techniques. All participants undertake an array of hands-on interactive exercises, whilst training alongside diamond expert Craig Sievewright, and with this latest news, students are now able to collect CPD points too.

Stacey Aylott, LDB COO commented, ‘this was our first venture into the educational side of the industry, so to have its contents accredited and recognised as conforming to Continued Profession Development principles makes all the time invested in launching the course worthwhile. Having seen this project come to fruition, we will soon start work on expanding our education programme’.
