After being laid off last week, my new exciting journey starts Monday!

They give you three months to complete this first course (diamond essentials) which has 7 assignments. This morning I have completed 3/7 assignments. It's very interesting and easy to follow.

Oh, and you pay per course, which is nice.

For anyone curious, I started the Diamonds Essentials course at 8:00am today. I completed all seven lessons and quizzes and just passed my final. All told it took me about 8 hours with breaks and meals.

I was familiar with a decent amount of the information thanks to participating here. The material is geared towards working as a salesperson, but it was still interesting and informative.

I'm so happy for you! I took those classes as well and earned an AJP certification. Haven't done anything with it, but the knowledge is invaluable!

What is AJP?

I’m trying to decide which class to take next. I have to wait until next Monday to start the next course.

I am now working on Diamonds and Diamond Grading. It is a longer and more detailed course. Also, the cost is significantly higher. I am hoping that I can complete it in about a week (vs one day for Diamond Essentials). And now back to
