At the Emma Dupont Etiquette School, our online etiquette class, The Lady’s British Social Etiquette & Empowerment Self-Study Course, is a beautifully independent way to learn the art of British social graces.
Our self-study option grants you immediate access to all eight modules upon enrolment, enabling you to embark on your journey at your convenience.
Combining traditional British etiquette with modern relevance, this self-study online etiquette class experience provides pre-recorded video lessons, audio versions, downloadable workbooks, and reflective exercises, all designed to help you cultivate confidence, composure, and quiet strength in every setting.
If you would prefer guided coaching and shared connection, the Cohort Edition is also available for enrolment just three times per year, welcoming a small circle of ladies to study together under Emma’s direct guidance.
WOULD YOU PREFER OUR COHORT PROGRAMME?
The Lady’s British Social Etiquette & Empowerment Cohort Programme is an intimate group experience that unfolds over eight months, with each module released monthly to encourage steady progress.
This edition includes eight monthly live coaching calls, personal feedback, and a private community of ladies learning together. It opens three times per year, with eight monthly payments replacing the single-payment format of the self-study course.
Even the most accomplished women occasionally find themselves uncertain in social or professional situations, moments that can leave them feeling less assured than they appear.
Many of the ladies who begin this online etiquette class recognise experiences such as these:
I dread small talk. I either say too little or ramble.
I’m unsure how to make an elegant entrance or exit—I often feel clumsy.
I hold back from opportunities because I don’t feel confident.
I feel self-conscious about how I walk or sit, especially in formal settings.
Dress codes in Britain confuse me—what does ‘smart casual’ mean?
Which fork do I use? Where does the napkin go? It all feels overwhelming.
How do I set a beautiful table and make my guests feel truly welcome?
I hesitate when writing invitations, emails, or even thank-you notes.
I’ve always wanted to enjoy afternoon tea, but felt nervous.
Perhaps you recognise one or two of these feelings yourself; the quiet wish to move through life with greater ease and elegance. It’s a longing not for perfection, but for poise; not to impress, but to feel entirely at home wherever you go.
You are not alone in feeling this way. Through our self-study online etiquette class, you will explore the timeless social principles and inner composure that transform uncertainty into confidence.
With carefully structured video lessons, reflective exercises, and practical guidance drawn from British social traditions, you’ll learn to express yourself with grace, navigate occasions with ease, and cultivate a calm, assured presence, all in your own time and at your own pace.
As these principles take root, they begin to shape not only how you act, but how you feel; composed, confident, and quietly self-assured in every setting.
Here is how that transformation begins to unfold:
✨ CALM & COLLECTED
Relaxed when greeting others through handshakes, hugs, and kisses, and never feeling flustered when recalling names or acknowledging rank.
✨ POISED IN LARGE GATHERINGS
Composed walking into any room—confident in your presence, clear in your intentions, and comfortable engaging with others authentically.
✨ POWERFUL QUIET CONFIDENCE
Confident in setting personal boundaries and responding to rude comments, ensuring you align with British etiquette whilst upholding your core values.
✨ MOVING GRACEFULLY
Refined in your posture; walking with grace, and sitting with ease, so your physical presence feels elegant, natural, and aligned.
✨ DRESSING ELEGANTLY
Clear and confident on British style expectations—what to wear, when, and why, so you never feel unsure or inappropriately dressed again.
✨ DINING WITH PLEASURE
Feeling exquisite when dining at both formal and informal occasions in both social and business events, through knowledge of British dining etiquette.
✨ HOSTING GUESTS WITH GRACE
Being an elegant host, from table settings to thoughtful gestures, so every gathering feels intentional and refined, enabling you to excel.
✨ COMMUNICATING WITH CARE
Gaining pleasure from using beautiful personalised stationery, and feeling confident with digital communication.
✨ ENJOYING AFTERNOON TEA
Discover the customs and rituals of afternoon tea, what to wear, what to expect, and how to enjoy it with charm and confidence.
For ladies who wish to live with grace, confidence, and quiet strength, my signature online etiquette programme, the Lady's British Social Etiquette and Empowerment Course, offers a transformative journey.
Through beautifully structured video lessons, live online group coaching calls, and a supportive community, you’ll not only master the formalities of British etiquette but also embody the composure and presence that define true refinement.
Within this exclusive online experience, each module builds upon the last, guiding you from knowledge to natural expression, until elegance feels effortless in every setting.
At the heart of this online etiquette class lies a commitment to empowering women from all walks of life with the knowledge, confidence, and elegance needed to flourish in British society.



Whether you are British-born and seeking refinement or navigating these traditions as an international guest, the course offers tailored guidance to meet you where you are and elevate you with grace.
This is precisely why Emma created this online etiquette class — to guide you, step by step, toward poise, self-assurance, and a life lived beautifully, without the need to travel to London to take an in-person course.
All of these skills are accessible from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in the world.
Our students often describe their journey as life-changing, as Liene so graciously shares below.
"A Life-Changing Online Experience at Emma Dupont’s Etiquette School.
I recently completed the online etiquette course at Emma Dupont's School of Etiquette, and I am beyond grateful for the experience.
Despite being an online program, the course was incredibly engaging, thorough, and well-structured, making me feel as though I was receiving personalized attention from Emma herself.
The monthly calls with Emma have truly been transformative! They've provided invaluable guidance and support, making a significant impact on my personal and professional growth.
The online platform was easy to navigate, and each lesson was delivered with clarity and precision.
Emma’s teaching style made complex topics like social, business, and dining etiquette feel accessible and approachable.
Her passion for etiquette shines through in every module, and her ability to make you feel confident in practicing these skills, even in a virtual setting, is remarkable.
The dining etiquette section was especially valuable, as it provided practical insights that I’ve already been able to apply in various situations.
The convenience of learning at my own pace, combined with Emma’s expert guidance, made this an ideal way to gain these important life skills.
What stood out most, however, was the personal growth I experienced.
Beyond mastering the technical aspects of etiquette, I left the course with a new sense of confidence and grace, ready to approach any social or professional scenario with ease.
Emma’s focus on the principles of respect, kindness, and consideration for others truly resonated with me.
I am so thankful for this online etiquette course, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their etiquette and self-presentation, regardless of location or schedule.
Thank you, Emma, for offering such a transformative experience online!"

With all eight modules available from the moment you enrol, you may progress gently through each topic as your schedule allows, building knowledge and confidence step by step.

Each pre-recorded module is divided into three concise video lessons to support focused, bite-sized learning, ideal for weaving refinement into a busy schedule.

Lifetime Access Valued at £240



An audio version of each lesson is included to support learning on the go.
Whether you’re walking, travelling, or wish to revisit key concepts hands-free, the content is yours to enjoy at your convenience.
It offers flexibility without compromise, allowing your refinement to continue, wherever life takes you.
Lifetime Access Included

Each month, you’ll be invited to enjoy a gentle challenge to put your learning into practice, both during your studies and long after they are complete.
These monthly reflections encourage growth through action, while keeping your journey engaging and purposeful.
Membership Privilege



Each month, Emma shares a private reflection from her day-to-day life, offering a quiet glimpse into how she practices grace, British tradition, and intentional living.
These musings are shared under the rose, from the Latin sub rosa, which has long been a symbol of discretion and confidentiality.
In an age where so much is laid bare, Emma chooses to honour a more old-fashioned elegance, sharing sincerely, yet selectively, in a way that remains true to her own authenticity.
Membership Privilege

Upon graduation, you will be invited to a group luncheon in London, a wonderful opportunity to honour your journey and connect with like-minded ladies.

I was born and raised in the county of Gloucestershire, England, before relocating to London in 2002 to continue my career as a financial adviser in the City.
For over seven years, I had the privilege of working with an international clientele from many different cultural backgrounds.
As those professional relationships deepened, I began to notice a shared experience among many of my clients: a quiet uncertainty when it came to understanding British social customs and navigating the unspoken expectations of life in the UK. These conversations stirred something in me.
In 2010, I decided to follow a new path. I began my training with The English Manner, where I received my British Etiquette Consultant Certification in 2014.
I then worked with them on a consultancy basis for three years, representing the organisation in Shanghai, Beijing, and Nanchang. I was also honoured to develop and deliver a bespoke training programme for the staff of Fendi at their Rome headquarters.

Since 2015, I have been mentoring and coaching ladies through my own school, the Emma Dupont Etiquette School, based in the heart of London.
As a British etiquette expert, I’ve had the privilege of teaching over 500 women from 48 countries, sharing my knowledge of British social and business etiquette, cultural understanding, and feminine confidence.
I am a proud member of the Protocol & Diplomacy International – Protocol Officers Association, and I remain deeply committed to upholding the global standards for certified etiquette consultants.
It is from this lived experience, and a sincere respect for tradition, that I created my in-person and online etiquette course—to guide others through this journey with empathy, elegance, and care.



I empower international and British women to navigate the cultural norms and unspoken rules that can so often lead to feelings of isolation or uncertainty.
Through my in-person courses in London and online etiquette classes, I create a warm, supportive environment, one where women can share their experiences, ask questions without hesitation, and gently embrace the elegance and grace associated with British culture.
My mission is to inspire confidence, help each woman align her skills with the timeless codes of British etiquette, and guide her back to her most authentic self through clear, step-by-step instruction.
This journey is not only about social and business refinement; it is about stepping fully into one’s feminine energy with self-assurance, clarity, and quiet strength. It enables women to flourish, both personally and professionally, while cultivating a true sense of belonging.
By the end of my course, ladies will possess the knowledge, poise, and confidence to move through British culture with ease, grace, and quiet dignity.

"I was born in a family where good manners were appreciated. I've learned etiquette at the University as part of a special program for managers.
But Emma elevated my understanding of etiquette to one level up and added more confidence and elegance.
It was comfortable to learn a new lesson every month because I had enough time to absorb all the knowledge.
Emma was charming, modest and sensitive even thought she was highly professional and really loved what she did."
Tania, May 2022
Ladies from eighteen years old who would like to feel more confident, poised, and refined in social situations by gaining knowledge of British etiquette.
British ladies who want to gain confidence by developing their interpersonal skills to make the most of opportunities that come their way.
International ladies wishing to communicate and build relationships with British people.
With our self-study structure, you'll receive access to the entire eight modules on registration:
– A pre-recorded video lesson divided into three bite-sized parts
– An audio version for flexible, on-the-go learning
– A beautifully designed workbook with notes and reflective journal prompts
While many etiquette courses focus solely on outward behaviour, Emma guides her students through a deeper journey—one that nurtures genuine inner confidence. This approach ensures that each lady conducts herself with authenticity and ease, rather than simply applying surface-level knowledge.
What sets this course apart is the continued support offered through The Finishing Circle community, where graduates receive lifetime access and guidance long after the course is complete and all payments are made.
If you are dissatisfied with the online course, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 30 days of purchase after you have completed Module One and attended/watched the replay of one monthly online group Q&A session.

Yes, it does. Emma is a British Etiquette Coach, and the tuition is focused on English manners and customs along with British etiquette.
However, the programme doesn't focus solely on etiquette skills; it also teaches women how to be elegant, confident, and poised with good manners, a universal skill.
Even after you have completed your online etiquette course, your journey doesn’t end there. As part of Emma's ongoing commitment to your growth and confidence, you will continue to receive support—at no additional cost.
You’ll maintain access to the Finishing Circle community, where all course materials remain available for future reference, along with the many benefits enjoyed by our alumnae community.
