A Commitment To Educational Excellence
Our Pledge
Undertaking a new field of study can be a daunting task for anyone, especially if it's a relatively new area of endeavor that you're embarking on. Concepts that require a different approach to critical thinking, and being able to put such ideas into a workable context and plan of action, can oftentimes seem like a difficult proposition at first. Learning to navigate the 'ins & outs' of new entrepreneurial landscapes may at first seem foreign and appear undoable. However, this doesn't have to be the case. With the right guidance and professional assistance from qualified instructors and staff here at the Institute, students will always have the help they need, whenever they need it. "This is our pledge to you..."

8. The AlA puts before you the entire Plans in permanent form for future reference - e-Course or hard-copy - you lose nothing. What cannot be studied and learned today, can be studied and learned tomorrow. When you have completed your Course, you can review your Study Plans as often as you desire. Also, you will always have on hand a veritable reference library, one which should be very valuable to you in years to come. Certainly you will refer to it frequently whether you make a career of antiques and appraising, or simply employ the knowledge you have gained for your own personal pleasure (*Note: students enrolled in the e-Course may also print off their online study pages to create an additional hard-copy version should they so wish).

If you study without proper guidance, even if you are already working within the decorative arts field, your study is likely to be haphazard and undirected. Our Profit and Pleasure Plans have been carefully created to provide the student with a logical pace-by-pace training program, beginning with the fundamentals of the profession and gradually and systematically working up to its more advanced branches and phases - including appraising. When you have graduated you will possess a deep and thorough understanding of antiques, vintage items, collectibles, and appraising, and will have received your Diploma stating as much. All of which, you can be justly proud of...
11. Through the Research Service, both as a student and a graduate you will have the privilege of consulting the Institute at any time.

13. The tuition fee for our home-study training program is very modest, especially in view of the excellent quality of instruction each student receives. Combine this with the fact that the Course materials are constantly being revised and updated regularly, and you’ll see why the AIA is a recognized world leader in distance-learning education.
14. Our commitment is one of excellence – to you and the services you’ll receive.
