ISG Launches Mini-Course Program, now FREE

Post by PinkDiamond »

*I edited the title of this thread to reflect the change of mind Robert James had after I posted this thread, and I will add his second announcement as a reply to this so anyone who already saw it knows to check back. However, I won't be copying all the links in the second one so you'll want to use the links posted in this one.* ;)

People whose children are home with so many schools closed, and those who have been told to quarantine themselves are going stir crazy, and still have another week or more to go before their lives can return to normal, so this is an excellent way for many of you to while away the time constructively, and the prices certainly are right.

From the ISG, here are some mini courses for you, or even older children, that are cost effective ways to pass the time while learning about gemstones. :)

ISG Launches Mini-Course Program

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new ISG Mini-Course Program from the International School of Gemology. This new level of education has been prepared to support those currently dealing with the world health situation to allow you to utilize this time to study and learn more about gemology in a cost effective manner. Study at home or office, at your own pace when you are ready. Our mini-courses start at just $5.00 and range up to $35.00. These courses are taken from the full ISG Registered Gemologist Appraiser program and come complete with video lectures, photographs and complete information on a variety of specific topics! New mini-courses will be added each week.

At the end of each mini-course you will be able to take a Final Exam and earn your ISG Mini-Course Certificate of Completion that you will download or print yourself.

Here is a list of our initial Mini-Course offerings extracted from our current program. More will be added each week with new material and photographs.

ISG Makes Mini-Course Program FREE!

When I recently posted the ISG Mini-Course Program costing an average of $20 I heard from many of you that in these times of layoffs and no work, $20 can be a bag of groceries or a tank of gas. Everyone seemed to love the opportunity, but even $10 in these times is important to save, Therefore, I reverted back to our primary objective which is to support the home town, independent retail jewelers and your staff. Please watch the video on the ISG Mini-Course Home Page for the rest of the story by clicking on the banner image at the top of this page (links are in the post above).........., and yes, the International School of Gemology is 100% committed to cause of supporting home town, independent retail jewelers along with all of our ISG Community world-wide with whatever we have to offer.

At the end of each mini-course you will be able to take a Final Exam and earn your ISG Mini-Course Certificate of Completion that you will download or print yourself. The ISG Mini-Courses do not count toward the RG or RGA diploma.

That's great! Hopefully ISG will get a lot of shut-in folks taking these, and perhaps some who go on to further explore the world of gems!

Thanks a lot for sharing those. I feel Roberts situation. It seems any niche a person could be making a living on has been pressed by somebody cutting some facet of expenses. Ive had to double my good guy discount (to 50% for Military, Law enforcement, and First Responders -like myself who covers the refuge for 911 also) to match a felons cut throat offer due to the opal claims range war that jailhouse lawyer scoundrel wont let up on. "Because he thinks its his right as an American to attack in any way he can, for what he lusts after, without being arrested- for fraud." It's an opal war none of us wanted, baut none of us can walk away from like the retirees he has been picking on, besides Rainbow Ridge.
BUT I DIGRESSED; Thanks to both of you, I will be sharing this to all my followers friends and family that could care less about removed others insanity.
