TRAINING COURSE
FEEG European Certification
(Federation of European Education in Gemmology)
The European Certification issued by FEEG (European Gemmologist) is a skills certificate created in 1995 and issued only by the Federation’s member training institutes.
The LFG is a member of FEEG and a certification testing centre since 2018. The European FEEG certification is the only recognised diploma in Europe that enables holders to show confirmed theoretical and practical understanding of gemmological appraisal and expand their international career opportunities. The FEEG offers access to an international community made up of the best gemmologists and the opportunity to share gemmological knowledge across the continent.
To help you prepare for the FEEG exam and extend your knowledge in gemmology, the LFG has created a 2 days preparation course in Paris. Thanks to a comprehensive preparation curriculum, this session gives participants the chance to review the areas of skill developed as they earned their gemmological degree and gain additional knowledge about rarer gems as well as new minerals.
