AGS Way Course:

The AGS Way is the Society's fundamental course for all titles, including Registered Jeweler (RJ), Registered Supplier (RS), and Certified Gemologist (CG). The course provides the foundation for our principles of proven ethics, knowledge, and consumer protection and defines the AGS Diamond Grading Standards. The six-lesson home-study program takes less than three months to complete and concludes with a proctored written exam and a practical diamond grading exam. $495. Diamond Grading Manual only - $125.

*If you have three (3) or more titleholders on staff, the cost of the course is reduced to $395. 

If you are already a titleholder, a copy of the course - which contains up-to-date information on the AGS Diamond Grading Standards, Advertising Standards, and Appraisal Standards - is only $295.
