GIA Alumni Association
New Continuing Education Recognition Program
Early in 2010 GIA will launch a greatly enhanced and totally revamped Continuing Education Recognition Program to help our graduates maintain the value of their professional credentials
The previous program launched in 2007 had good content but was difficult to navigate.
The new program will be very easy to access on the GIA website; it will be very robust
It is designed for those alumni who have achieved Gemologist or Graduate Gemologist and want to stay current.
-It will be delivered via Blackboard Learning Management System, consistent with our new eLearning courses
Eight interactive assignments in the GIA eLearning format will cover the latest updates in gemology.
-The assignments include video, audio and images.
-A questionnaire will follow each assignment.
-Alumni passing all eight assignments will receive a certificate which they can frame and proudly display.
-Participants will have access to current GIA gemology eLearning courses, including rich multi-media from GIA archives.
-The program will feature discussion boards and live online chats with GIA experts from Education and Research
-There will be a reasonable annual participation fee for the program.
