Start Making Jewelry in Your First Class
We get straight to the point and start with the creation of actual jewelry for our very first projects. Students typically complete several pieces of finished jewelry in our introductory class, Jewelry Techniques 1.
Leave the class with homework that you can’t wait to share with your friends and family.
Earn a Certificate in just Four Classes
Our Jewelry Level 1 Certificate can be earned in as few as four classes, giving you recognition for your hard work. Continue your journey in jewelry-making by pursuing the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Jewelry.
Up for an even bigger challenge? Show off your refined skills by earning the Jewelry Enhanced Skills Certificate.
Continuing Education Classes Available
All of our credit classes can also be taken as Continuing Education, giving maximum flexibility for anyone that isn’t interested in pursuing an award. Continuing Education classes are affordable (the same price as in-district classes) and the enrollment process is simpler if you’re new to ACC.
Continuing Education students learn right alongside credit students, so you can expect the same excellent quality of instruction that all of our students receive.
