Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with either of these two qualifications that they could share?

I've been using art clay silver for a year or so and feel my knowledge and techniques are limited as I have been teaching myself. My nearest school is the mid cornwall school of jewellery which looks great and offers both a diploma and the AC certificate courses, but I'm having trouble deciding between the two types of course (or even whether to just keep buying books and getting tips from the net as the courses are so expensive!), I do really like the sound of the diploma but the discount on art clay is very tempting!!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Charlotte
