Teaching Aids & Course Supplements

These supplements

All of these supplements have been carefully chosen so as to provide the maximum amount of extra-curricular benefit to students working and training in the field of antiques, collectibles and appraising. They have been added to the Asheford Course to not only enhance the curriculum, but to also provide students with a wider scope of potentially helpful options when it comes time to operating their own businesses.
