The Diamond Education College - A Cut Above The Rest

The Diamond Education College provides education in the fields of Rough Diamond Evaluation, Rough Diamond Marking and Polishing and Cutting.

The Diamond Education College is fully accredited by the Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA) and the Education & Training Qualification Authority (ETQA) as a service provider for the diamond industry. This ensures you receive quality training that is recognised by the educational authorities. Apart from our students receiving an internationally recognised diploma, the Diamond Education College also offers their students the opportunity to receive a National Qualification Certificate upon successful completion of the course studied. This certificate will be issued by the MQA.

The Diamond Education College is fully ISO9001 compliant.

The Diamond Education College is recognised by the South African Diamond and Precious Metal Regulator (SADPMR) - authority regulating Diamond trade in South Africa - as a training institute. You can always enquire at the SADPMR whether your training provider will be able to deliver sufficient training needed to successfully operate in the Diamond industry.

In addition to its training facilities, the Diamond Education College was instrumental in defining the unit standards for evaluating proficiency in the various aspects of the diamond industry. Many of the educational manuals used for training in this sector were developed by the Diamond Education College.  

We are very proud of the fact that every year some of our most promising students are placed in very lucrative positions at well-known Diamond dealing companies both in South Africa and overseas. And even more students start their own Diamond dealing companies that are becoming very successful.
