Hi there,

    I haven't seen anyone else chime in on this, so I will share the
    little that I know about I.S.G.. The school is run by Robert James.
    He has an interesting background in gemology having been trained by
    GIA and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, as well as
    many years in the retail trade. I have not taken his classes but
    have purchased some gem equipment from him and a couple of
    educational DVD's. He is quite generous with very practical
    information and is a good resource for affordable gem testing
    equipment. He is trying to fill a gap of sorts between the GIA and
    British programs. I am currently a GIA student and have found
    Robert's info a helpful supplement to my studies. The student forums
    on his site can be helpful too (I link to them from his site
    yourgemologist.com). 

    That is about all I know at this time. I do like his concept of
    making gemology education more affordable for those seeking training.
    You should contact Robert or some of his students on the forums to
    learn more. 

Hope that helps-Carrie Nunes
