Jewelers of America developed the Bench Professional Certification program in 1997 
to promote the professionalism of jewelers and store owners. The nationally recognized 
certification ensures consumers are confident in the ability of the certified bench jeweler to 
perform quality work. 
The JA Bench Professional Certification Program establishes national standards and 
administers tests to rate the talents and proficiency of bench jewelers. When you enroll in the 
program, you simply take and pass an “open book” online written exam and a series of practical 
tests to become JA certified at on of three levels:
JA CERTIFIED BEGINNER BENCH JEWELER
