Antique Home Study Course & Classes - Asheford Institute Of Antiques

See What The Press Is Saying...

Sometimes it’s nice to toot your own horn, but it’s far more rewarding if someone else does it for you! After all, who can sing your praises better than the Press!

With this thought in mind, we’ve added some articles and stories that have been published about the Asheford program over the last twenty-years in a number of major antique trade publications throughout North America. Periodicals such as ANTIQUE TRADER (the nations leading weekly antique newspaper) and ANTIQUESGUIDE (one of the best east coast monthly's on the market). Even “big-city” newspapers, such as the  TORONTO STAR in Canada have been included.

 We want students (and prospective students) to see what today's top experts at antique newspapers and magazines have to say about the Asheford Institute's antique-home-study program. Because in the end, it’s not what “we” say, that makes our program what it is... but what everyone else says!

 So, if you’re perusing this section for the first time, keep in mind that as new articles are published about the Institute by antique newspapers and magazines around the world, we’ll offer them up here first for our students and all others to see...    

resulting in the increased demand for qualified appraisers. “Almost every other enrollment we take now is based on students wanting to become antique and collectible appraisers,” said Drew.

Longtime industry analyst Jeffery Archer also noted that, not all areas of the economy are always affected adversely when it comes to a recession, “In fact,” said Archer, “some sectors of the antique and collectibles market can offer tremendous value and superb buying opportunities for those with the right knowledge and expertise.” Archer went on to say it shouldn’t be a surprise when schools such as Asheford witness strong growth demand, “It’s all about opportunity – when times are tough, people often seize the best options available to them – in this case it happens to be antique education.”

The Asheford school, which recently celebrated its 42nd year this past week, marked the milestone with a small gala, during which school director Charlie Green commented, “It’s nice to be able to provide our students with some positive growth potential - even in such difficult economic times.”
