At the Emma Dupont Etiquette School, our online etiquette course, The Lady’s British Social Etiquette & Empowerment Cohort Programme, offers a guided journey into the art of British social graces.
This exclusive eight-month experience opens three times per year, welcoming a small circle of ladies to study together under Emma Dupont's direct guidance.
Combining traditional British etiquette with modern relevance, the cohort experience provides beautifully structured lessons, monthly live coaching sessions, and the warm support of a private membership community, all designed to help you cultivate confidence, composure, and quiet strength in every setting.
WOULD YOU PREFER OUR SELF-STUDY EDITION?
For those who prefer to study at their own pace, The Lady’s British Social Etiquette & Empowerment Self-Study Course is a beautifully structured programme offering immediate access to all eight modules.
Learn independently, in your own time, with a single one-time payment instead of eight monthly instalments.
This edition includes the same core curriculum as the cohort, allowing you to enjoy the entire learning experience quietly and flexibly from anywhere in the world.
Even the most accomplished women sometimes find themselves uncertain in social or professional situations, moments that leave them feeling less assured than they appear.
Many of the ladies who join our online etiquette courses share 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 online etiquette course, you will learn the timeless social principles and inner composure that transform uncertainty into confidence.
With step-by-step guidance, live online coaching sessions, and a warm community of like-minded ladies, you’ll discover how to express yourself with grace, navigate social occasions with ease, and cultivate a presence that reflects true self-assurance.
As these principles take root, they begin to shape not only how you act, but how you feel; calm, poised, and entirely at ease 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, for 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 & Membership Community, offers a journey of transformation.
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 course 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 I created the online etiquette course - to guide you, step by step, towards poise, self-assurance, and a life lived beautifully, without the need to travel to my in-person courses in London.
All of these skills are accessible from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in the world.
Within the continuous support of our private membership community, you will not only gain knowledge but also experience the lasting encouragement of both me and a vibrant network of international ladies, enabling you to live these principles each day with ease and quiet confidence.
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!"

Membership Privilege

A private online community for graduates of The Etiquette Foundations Community to deepen their practice through shared refinement and lifelong learning.
Membership Privilege

I was born and raised in the county of Gloucestershire, England, before relocating to London in 2002 to begin 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 made the decision 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 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 course and membership community, 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, she 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.

Emma will invite you to email your questions to her before each Monthly Online Group Q&A session, and she will answer these questions, as well as any others posted in the live chat box or the online community.
The Monthly Online Coaching Sessions for our cohort are hosted on Zoom. Each month, you will receive a link to join the video call.
The schedule will be provided to students upon registration, with sessions held at a different time each month to accommodate various time zones around the world.
All calls will be recorded and uploaded to the Elegant Foundations Community within 24 hours, allowing you to watch the replay at your convenience.
The cohort programme officially begins on the 1st of the month. However, as soon as you register, you'll receive access to the private Etiquette Foundations Community where you can settle in and prepare.
Within this welcome area, you’ll find:
– A course orientation video
– A personal welcome message from Emma
– The schedule for the monthly live coaching sessions
This gentle introduction ensures you feel supported and ready before your learning journey formally begins.
With our cohort structure, each module is released on the first of the month and is thoughtfully structured to support steady, graceful learning. You'll receive:
– 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
At the end of the month, you'll also be invited to join a live group coaching session focused on answering questions on that month's topic, take part in a themed challenge, and enjoy continued discussion within the private community—all focused on that month’s topic.
Emma will invite you to submit your questions before each Monthly Online Group Coaching session, and she will answer these questions during the call. Students can then watch the replay at their convenience.
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.
Upon registration, you will be asked to enter your debit or credit card details. Your first payment will be processed immediately to secure your place.

Once all payments have been fulfilled, you will receive lifetime access to all course materials—allowing you to revisit and reflect at your own pace, whenever you choose.
If your subscription is cancelled before all eight payments have been made, access to the course content and the Etiquette Foundations Community—including previously released modules—will be paused. Continued access is granted only after all eight payments have been 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.
If you accept a refund, it will be processed within seven working days of receiving your acceptance.
