NAG CELEBRATES EXAM SUCCESS
NAG students, tutors and Education Department staff were celebrating the end of another successful JET examination season with more outstanding results released last week. 80% of students passed the Professional Jewellers’ Diploma taken in May, while 61% gained their Professional Jewellers’ Gemstone Diploma, but it was the incredible 100% pass rate of the JET Valuations course that has most people talking.
“It is a fantastic result” said Victoria Wingate, NAG Education Manager. “The Valuations exam is notoriously difficult, but is so important as it forms part of the application process for the Institute of Registered Valuers.”
The distance learning courses have long played an integral role at the NAG, but remain as vital as ever.
“The first NAG exam was held in 1945. We’ve been developing and evolving since then, so we know a thing or two about training” added Victoria Wingate. “These courses will build staff confidence, develop their selling skills and product knowledge and ultimately it will put money in the till!”
The figures come as the NAG prepares to relaunch the Professional Jewellers’ Diploma at IJL in September. The new look course, which includes updated information on new designers, Palladium and Argentium silver as well as a dramatic fresh new look, will be launched at a champagne reception by Education Chairman Mark Adlestone at the NAG stand H105 at IJL on Monday 7th September 2009.
