    Hello all, I am interested in possibly going to the New Approach
    school for the bench jewelers program.  Has anyone on this list
    taken the full course?  In their advertisement, they say that you
    may be ready to take the AJ certified bench jewelers test, level 2. 
    Has that been anyones experience?  It seems hard to believe that
    someone would be able to pass that test with only 12 weeks of
    training! 

    Also, what kind of employment were you able to get after this level
    of training?  Were you employed as a bench jeweler working on his
    own or more of an apprentice?  Did you work out of your own place or
    in a store? Any information you can share would be very valuable.  I
    know this is a terrific place to receive training, I'm just curious
    about the average level of competency after the course is complete. 
    
    Please respond either on the list or to me personally:
