What Permanent Jewelry Certification Is Best for You? Online, 1:1, or Small Group?

You’ve decided to take the leap into permanent jewelry - or you're thinking about it, seriously. But now comes the big question: what type of certification or training is best for you?  With so many ways to learn - online, 1:1 mentorship, or small group workshops, we're here to help.

The right choice depends on your learning style, business goals, and lifestyle. Let’s break it down so you can confidently choose your path.

1. Online Training: Learn at Your Own Pace

Best for: Self-starters, busy professionals, and those balancing other commitments.

Online permanent jewelry training is flexible, allowing you to learn on your own schedule. Typically, these programs offer video modules, downloadable resources, and sometimes live Q&A sessions.

Pros:

• Learn anytime, anywhere.

• Rewatch lessons until you feel confident.

• Budget-friendly compared to in-person options.

Consider if: You’re disciplined, tech-comfortable, and prefer working independently without needing someone physically there to correct your technique.

2. 1:1 Training: Personalized & Hands-On

Best for: Entrepreneurs who want to launch fast and with confidence.

One-on-one training gives you undivided attention from an expert. This format allows you to move at your pace, ask unlimited questions, and get real-time feedback on technique, setup, and troubleshooting.

Pros:

• Fully customized to your skill level and goals.

• Immediate correction of mistakes.

• Mentorship and ongoing support often included.

Consider if: You want the fastest path to mastery and are willing to invest more for direct, expert guidance.

3. Small Group Workshops: Collaborative & Fun

Best for: Social learners who thrive in community.

Workshops (typically 3–10 participants) create a supportive environment where you learn alongside others. You get the benefit of live demos, hands-on practice, and group discussions—plus, you often make lasting connections with fellow jewelers.

Pros:

• Learn in a dynamic, interactive setting.

• Share experiences and insights with peers.

• Often more affordable than 1:1, but more interactive than online.

Consider if: You like learning with others, networking, and want to build community while developing your skills.

Choosing What’s Right for You

• On a tight schedule? Online might be your best fit.

• Want tailored guidance and accountability? Go 1:1.

• Crave energy and connection? A small group workshop is perfect.

No matter which route you choose, the goal is the same: to walk away confident, certified, and ready to offer your clients a lasting experience through permanent jewelry.
