Executive Training Programme

"The week I spent on the Business School Course gave me a fantastic insight into the history our industry and some contemporary marketing issues. Through participation on the course I was also introduced to other students from which I could learn more about different aspects of the trade.

Since completing my Executive Training Programme I have been able to implement many of the leadership and management techniques we were taught which has helped me to develop within the company.

I would recommend the Executive Training Programme to marketers and business people who would like to learn more about the industry and how they can achieve success in their own companies"

Executive Training Programme

The first and only Business School created exclusively for the Jewellery Industry.

With the GIA Executive Training Programme, you learn real-world executive management strategies. The material is focused, streamlined and covers exactly what you need to run a successful jewellery operation.

Break away from the "it worked yesterday - it will work tomorrow" mentality.
The global marketplace is dramatically different than it used to be. Strategies that worked five years ago – even last year – are tired, worn, and ineffective.

Who Should Attend?

If you're ready to advance your career to the executive management level – you're ready for GIA's Executive Training Programme.

Developed specifically for aspiring and mid-level managers, this intensive programme teaches you the fundamental skills you need to produce results. In five days, you acquire the knowledge and skills required to effectively and successfully operate an international jewellery business. This programme will help propel your company – and your career.

Skills that help you compete in the international jewellery market

Online globalization, new trade practices, and the vertical integration of the diamond trade have changed how jewellery companies operate, compete, and succeed. Navigating your business through the ever-changing and increasingly competitive marketplace will take a lot of effort – and a lot of knowledge.You need solid strategies, a clear vision, and keen insight if you're going to chart and achieve growth.

Taught by an accomplished GIA School of Business professor, with this interactive seminar you will:

  • Examine the patterns of global trade and current trends
  • Discover effective business strategies to improve your market share
  • Create marketing promotions that help differentiate your business
  • Find out which leadership techniques work – and why
  • Learn proven sales methods that will help achieve your company's sales goals
  • Better understand your client, and your market
  • Master mission-critical management functions

  • Improve your merchandising tactics and pricing strategies
  • Learn successful merchandising and customer service programs

Gain International Contacts and business associates

Your classmates are likely to come from many different countries, and with diverse industry backgrounds – providing you with international contacts and new business perspectives. In fact, the GIA School of Business Executive Training Programme in London last April had students from the United Kingdom, Congo, Jamaica, United States, Burma, Germany, and Spain.
