The DCA Colored Gemstone Course brings learning to life for the front-line sales associate. This online education course is designed so that the student learns and applies new information from the onset. As bits of knowledge are presented, the course describes how to use them in sales and everyday store operations. Through practice modules and exercises, the student develops skills along with knowledge.

The DCA Colored Gemstone Course is augmented with numerous photographs, charts and other graphics. The course is delivered online and may be taken at the student's own pace; 6-12 months is the anticipated completion time, although students may easily finish it in less time.
