Certificate & Diploma Intensives
Our 2025 Certificate & Diploma Intensive modules are now available for booking. The Intensives are the perfect way to complete a module from the course in a short space of time, as each module is taught over eight days, interspersed with a few additional stitching days.
Though not mandatory, it is possible to complete one module of the C&D programme during an intensive, from sampling to mounting your finished work.
The modules can now be booked via our Online booking platform, Bookeo, and will take place at several RSN venues from March – August 2025, at Hampton Court Palace in London, Durham, Glasgow, Australia and the USA.

A Royal Gift
We are delighted to share the news that RSN Scotland Diploma Student Elizabeth Hay recently made a beautiful piece of embroidery as a gift for her majesty Queen Camilla, the RSN’s patron, through the Scottish Women’s Institute (SWI).
As well as learning embroidery on the Certificate & Diploma course at RSN Scotland, under the tutelage of Tutor Helen McCook, Elizabeth has been a longstanding member of the SWI for 31 years and was honoured to be asked to create this very special piece.
The piece consistent of a photo album, bound in the SWI’s signature Tartan, with Queen Camilla’s insignia embroidered on the front. After presenting this gift to her Majesty, Elizabeth received a lovely letter of thanks from the Queen herself, who was very impressed with Elizabeth’s embroidery skills.
