Today I participated in a presentation on the new continuing education program for people who are GIA Gemologists or Graduate Gemologists. I saw more of the online learning, both the traditional courses and the continuing ed courses. The program is simply outstanding.
In January they will be adding the Colored Stones course to the online courses. They have completely updated the two chapters on pearls within the Colored Stones course -- but -- the next course will be Gem Indentification, later in 2010. the push is to get the core courses for the GG program online before the other programs.
They are going to get back to me, but it's unclear if the pearl course will roll out in 2010. If it does, it will be nearer the end of 2010.
Good things come to those who wait.
