The RSN runs leisure classes from one to five days starting with classes for beginners and leading on to more complex and varied techniques as embroiderers become more experienced. There is a certificate and diploma in technical hand embroidery for those who want to develop practical embroidery skills to a high level; also a unique degree in hand embroidery which encompasses some technical training, with the emphasis on contemporary practice, alongside academic studies. The degree course in hand embroidery is accredited by the [[University for the Creative Arts]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/royal-school-needlework |title=RSN at hampton Court Palace |publisher=[[University for the Creative Arts]] |access-date=18 August 2015 |archive-date=20 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920185352/http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/royal-school-needlework |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2012 the RSN introduced a new three-year Tutors’ Course which combines high-level technical embroidery training with teaching practice and business skills required to work as a freelance embroiderer/tutor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.royal-needlework.org.uk/content/1147/|title=Future Tutors|website=www.royal-needlework.org.uk|access-date=2017-01-18}}</ref>
