Existing distance-learning students of the Gem-A gemmology courses are encouraged to enroll in CIJT’s residence programs. The MasterValuer Program is also available for distance learning. CIJT is the first school in the US to teach the British gemology program full-time in residence.

Other educational programs at CIJT include Jewelry Arts and Manufacturing, the Master Valuer Jewelry Appraisal Course, Retail Sales workshop, the DGA Diamonds Course from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, a course in rough diamonds, and short weekend courses.
