Gemmological Institute of Montreal

Visit: IGEM

This French-Canadian gemological institute is one of the premier in the world. Closely allied with the Gem-A in London and the Canadian Gemmological Association, we are fortunate enough to have visitors from the EGM from time to time. They offer an outstanding variety of courses.

The Gemmological Institute of Montreal offers a wide range of training courses, from the basics of gemmology to the most technical and in-depth. In the field of advanced gemmology, the EGM prepares students to obtain the WGF Career Gemmologist Diploma. This training is intended for students with no prerequisites in gemmology but with a minimum academic level of CEGEP or equivalent abroad. It can be taken in an à la carte format where each module can be taken after the other without time constraints.

EGM offers a diploma focused on diamond knowledge: WGF Diamond Professional. The training is offered on an à la carte basis. It is intended for everyone, and does not require any knowledge in gemmology. The interested parties must however have a minimum school level required (Cegep in Quebec or equivalent).
