The Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery has designed the very first independent qualification for working with Precious Metal Clay (PMC).

If you want to teach classes or work seriously with PMC, this is currently the most thorough training you can get anywhere in the world.

The Diploma in PMC Proficiency is free from any association with marketing, discounts or any particular supplier. Therefore it is the first truly independent qualification and sets the new standard for excellence within the PMC world.

The course is recognised by the PMC Guild International and in fact the grades of competency actually exceed the minimum requirements suggested by the PMC Guild.

Gaining this Diploma shows a high level of commitment to your work. It will add credibility to your CV and the Competency Certificates will act as a record of your achievements along the way. Your name will be registered and displayed on the Diploma Graduates page of the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery website.

Upon completion of all four grades, artists will be entitled to use the registered letters after their names. For example, Mary Maker, MCSJ Dip. PMC
