The RSN Certificate and Diploma courses are taught with a ratio of six students to one tutor and the classes are informal, supportive, relaxed and quietly focused. Every completed module is assessed and requires a high standard of achievement to demonstrate a full understanding of the skills learnt. There are flexible attendance options and the courses are taught at Hampton Court Palace and in Bristol, Rugby, Durham and Glasgow, and internationally in Japan and the USA.

“I did Art and Design A-Level and then went to the Royal School of Music and Drama in Cardiff to do a BA (Hons) in Theatre Design, specialising in costume. I then worked for the Welsh National Opera in their Touring Wardrobe Department. It’s been a big change for me moving to Hampton Court to study. It’s a lot of hard work as the standard expected from you is so high, but I have learnt so much already”
Kate Barlow, Second year student
