The basic technical skill curriculum of Vancouver Metal Art School has all of the main technical subjects of a European Goldsmithing Education. It gives our students a high standard education which enables them to be equal skilled with European Trade standards in the Jewellery Industry. Some advanced technical subjects are even covered and are taught in the Goldsmith Master education in Europe.

Vancouver Metal Art School is teaching these comprehensive Technical Standards in Canada as the only educational institution to enable employers to take advantage of highly skilled bench jewellers .

Students who want to be self employed will enjoy the wealth of knowledge with which they are able to tackle almost all kinds of technical challenges in their designs.

 

We tailor our curriculum around a student's individual need for instruction. This means that our students get trained with their

cultural background in mind as well as their future plans. We use the basic structure of our curriculum and form it around the learning process of each student.
It is our belief that each student accomplishes much more with this individualistic approach and this is conformed by positive results in training past students and apprentices. All students are different. We celebrate this and tailor our curriculum accordingly.
