What Our Students Say
“I didn’t want to study a full length degree or go to university – I wanted to learn some real skills that would carry me forward to the workplace. It is a fast-paced, exciting and incredibly rewarding environment. Holts Academy is a must for any budding jeweller.” R. Stubberfield, 2009
“I really enjoyed learning from these expert tutors. I get such a buzz from seeing my friends and family wearing the jewellery I made for them, and it’s quite flattering when we’re all together and they’re all wearing something unique that I made especially for them!” A Moulang, 2009
“It was important for me to find a course where I would learn from the ground up, yet have the space to work in my own style. The projects on the NVQ course are set, so we all work on the same piece, but this all-owed me to learn all of the techniques – and more – that I needed. I then was able to take this and apply it to my own style.” C. King, 2010
”The NVQ provided me with the skills and knowledge that I needed to apply for an apprenticeship. Even before I started on the course I was most interested in stone setting and that was the part I enjoyed the most. With very few apprenticeships available now, I was able to prove my abilities by having the qualifications.” S. Webb, 2010
