Level 2 Certificate Jewellery Manufacturing
The Level 2 Certificate in Jewellery Manufacturing is a 'bitesize' qualification comprising three jewellery manufacturing units.
The qualification has been developed in collaboration with the British Academy of Jewellery. It offers those learners, who may not immediately wish to make a commitment to a full diploma programme, an opportunity to gain basic jewellery manufacturing skills.
Successful achievement of the Level 2 Certificate can then be used as a platform to a range of Level 3 Jewellery qualifications, including the Level 3 Diploma in Jewellery Design and Manufacturing. It also provides the necessary skills for learners to begin making their own jewellery, either in a professional setting or as a hobby.
This qualification can be delivered through employers and training providers in England and Wales.
