Frequently asked
Do I need any prior etiquette training to take this course?
No. The course starts from first principles — why a convention exists before what it is — so it works for someone who has never thought about etiquette and for someone correcting habits picked up along the way.
Does this course cover business and digital etiquette, or only dining?
Both. Alongside dining and hosting you'll cover introductions and names, professional conduct, correspondence, phone and video-call manners, gift-giving, and how to navigate dress codes from smart casual to black tie.
Will this teach rules that still apply today?
Yes. Every convention is taught in its modern form, with the reasoning behind it, so you can adapt when a situation doesn't match the textbook. Conventions that no longer serve anyone are named as such rather than repeated.
How long does The Art of Etiquette take to complete?
About 2.5 of material across 8 modules and 38 lessons. It's entirely self-paced, so most students spread it over a few weeks rather than working straight through.
How long do I have access, and is it a subscription?
It's a one-time payment with lifetime access — no subscription and no renewal. That includes every future improvement and addition to the course at no extra cost.
Do I receive a certificate?
Yes. Complete the lessons and pass the final assessment and you'll receive a verifiable certificate of completion, which anyone can check against our certificate verification page.
Are the lessons video lectures?
They're narrated, slide-based micro-lessons with illustrations, worked scenarios and printable PDF guides — designed to be more memorable and far easier to revisit than long video lectures.
