We have experienced such a transition over the last seven months and delighted to be able to offer many of our courses online, ensuring our teaching is accessible to students wherever they are, in the safety of their own home.  It is incredible to think that on just one Saturday in November, we had three Live Online Day Classes, an Online Information Day and started to teach our Certificate & Diploma Online for the USA time zone.

We are now regularly running Online Sessions for the Certificate & Diploma in Technical Hand Embroidery (C&D) in the following time zones;

• Tuesday morning to Australia
• Tuesday all day to the UK
• Wednesday morning to Australia
• Thursday all day to the UK
• Saturday all day to the USA
• We are also running a three week USA Intensive Course on various days

Although these sessions are designated to time zones, they are not exclusive to these areas.  Indeed, we are finding that students are joining sessions that better suit their work or home timetable, even if it means getting up early or working late into the evening.  To give you a few examples; we have C&D students from New Zealand and the UK joining one of the Australia Classes; there are USA Students in our UK classes as well as UK students joining the USA sessions! This means that one class can bring a mix of countries together, giving the opportunity for students to meet like-minded people from around the world, forming new friendships.

The big question we are asked regularly is:
‘When will we be able to teach the Certificate & Diploma Jacobean Crewelwork module online?’

We are very excited to announce that we will be ready to deliver this module in the new year and will be delivering to several time zones. Once the dates have been set, we will go out to all those who have:- booked to attend the 2020 Summer Intensive; registered as a new student or expressed an interest in online learning.  To register your interest, contact: [email protected]

If you are already a C&D Student, you can book your next class via Bookeo here.
