TESTIMONIAL
We want to thank you once again for highly qualified and very useful course you provided us during this week. We gain valuable information about latest techniques in synthetic and treated diamond identification and high quality knowledge that is essential if working with diamonds today. AGIL is the place where to go for top quality gemmological eduacation including the latest updates from the gem market. Thank you very much!
My specialty is in the property investment and also the health and beauty business. Gems and diamonds are always fascinating to me, but I only know that they look beautiful. One day, I decided to learn more about them and did a research about the best school available in Hong Kong. That's how I find AGIL.
At first, I took an introductory course here, and I like the mode of learning. Teachers are really knowledgeable and are passionate in teaching. Furthermore, every student gets hands-on experience on the gems and equipments. I will further continue my study here, looking at a more professional level, the DGA, and the FGA in the future.
「亞洲寶石學院」是學習寶石知識不二選之學府。已持有美國寶石鑑定師資格的我，自在此入學後，才恍然之前所學的給比下去。剛讀畢「現代寶石鑑定精要課程」，開課首天各學員均配備整套鑽石探針，且可親自測試各種鑽石及仿品。之前曾學的，均以口述教授使用方法及參考課本圖片而已。 而「天然鑽石鑑定專員證書課程」是寶石鑑定師進補必修。其教授了如何應用「紅外線光譜儀」、「鐳射拉曼光譜儀」、「紫外 - 可見光譜儀」等高級先進儀器，得以檢測各類鑽石及仿品(包括CVD合成鑽石)等，此乃一般文憑課程所缺；而「手提光譜儀」亦比前所認知的簇新易看。
課程內容、教學方式及學院環境，均以學員為本。課本內容精簡闢要，教學以理論與實踐並重，且拆解行內常犯錯誤及謬論。獨特教法令學員更快易掌握課程的精髓。於小休時段，還貼心的備有茶點供學員享用。還有眾須親身體驗，非一般學院能及的學習模式。總括而言，寶石鑑定師若需深造知識，必然選擇就是「亞洲寶石學院」。
