about the online etiquette academy

The Academy is designed for women of any nationality who wish to learn the intricacies of British social etiquette to develop a confident, elegant, and refined manner.

It offers you the opportunity to join the school's eight-month Signature Online Programme, the Ladies' Social Etiquette & Empowerment Course, and learn one topic a month from the comfort of your home.

On the first of every month, you will receive a new module for a period of eight months, comprising of three video lessons and comprehensive notes, followed by a group one-hour video coaching call with me later that month where I will answer questions that have arisen. All coaching calls are recorded and sent to you to refer back to in the future.

Upon completing that month's module, you will have time to practice the skills before moving on to the next topic, ensuring your confidence builds progressively and without overwhelm.

The programme will equip you with the necessary skills to fully achieve your potential with maximum impact, from handling challenging people and feeling self-assured at social gatherings to being beautifully dressed and poised at all your social and business events.

Upon completion of the programme, you will be invited to join the school's Alumni Society, a complimentary membership club where you can put your skills into practice at organised events in London, UK, as well as quarterly complimentary video coaching calls to answer questions that arise in your day-to-day life.

Lifetime access to all the course topics is guaranteed.

Enrolment for The Online Etiquette Academy is open just three times a year.

    a few words from ladies who have completed this programme:

    • " I had such a good time doing the Social Etiquette and Empowerment Course online. Each module was presented beautifully by Emma and was a pleasure to watch.

      All eight modules were informative and interesting and very relevant to life today. I really do feel enlightened and well prepared for any occasion that comes my way, safe in the knowledge that I have good etiquette!" 

      Melanie, May 2020

    • "The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette takes an excellent approach to teaching traditional etiquette.

      Emma is an excellent coach and she makes you feel accomplished no matter where you are on your etiquette journey.

      She reminds us of the fundamentals of good manners. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of social and dining etiquette, or to just brush up on skills they already have in these areas!"

      Crismely, November 2020

    • "This online course exceeded expectations. The modules are packed with information, and the structure of the individual modules helps to facilitate retention of the knowledge.

      I often find myself re-reading my notes from the course and am so happy that I can re-watch the videos down the line if needed.

      Brilliant!"

      Shefali, August 2020

    • "Thank you for the excellent instruction on British etiquette. I learned so much about how to be confident in any social setting and about how important etiquette is to the maintenance of the social fabric among people.

      I also learned a lot on the Alumni Society Coaching call about business etiquette for women and managing cross-cultural relationships.

      You are amazingly generous with your knowledge and I am so grateful to have learned about your course. I look forward to future Alumni Society events and deepening my knowledge about social and business etiquette."

      Maria, January 2021

    • "The quality of this course is exquisite. I took this course in person with Emma and taking this course online again was as delightful as her classes in Piccadilly.

      Emma kept her essence and transmitted her knowledge and grace in such a beautiful way that I learnt more techniques with these videos. The level of quality and instruction of this online course matches the depth of in-person training. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to refine my skills online. Emma kindly answers questions via e-mail, and video calls are also an option, so truly the only thing I am missing is Dinner and Afternoon Tea in London with Emma!

      Nora, October 2020

    • The complete course is actually the best investment I have made this year. Mrs Dupont is a very friendly and knowledgeable Etiquette Expert. I consider her as a very inspiring and charming lifestyle coach. A mentor. What an expertise!

      I really enjoyed the video coaching call. I am looking forward to meet up with her in London! During a luncheon or at a fancy gala. I really recommend this course to all the ladies who would love to develop themselves.
