Diamond Graduate Programme (Online)

Beyond Grading. Built for the Real Diamond Business.

The IIG Diamond Graduate Programme is a comprehensive, industry-aligned certification built on an advanced 10C Framework, designed to create professionals who don’t just grade diamonds, but understand, evaluate, trade, value, and sell them with confidence.

From diamond creation and rough identification to international grading systems, costing, certification, trading practices, and customer handling, this program delivers comprehensive diamond intelligence aligned with both Indian and global markets.

Participants gain hands-on expertise in natural, HPHT & CVD diamonds, simulants, treatments, cut analysis, pricing via Rapaport, and learn the Venus Grading System® (VGS®), India’s own standardized grading methodology, taught exclusively at IIG.

Ideal for aspiring gemologists, retailers, traders, professionals, and entrepreneurs ready to build credibility and long-term success in the diamond industry.
