"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!"

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 have lived in the UK for nearly 20 years now, my English is rather fluent, but it took me a surprisingly long time to realise that speaking the language fluently is one thing and a deep understanding of the English culture is quite another.
Your courses gave me lots of knowledge and confidence. It was a pleasure to learn from you as I find your style very appealing and your warm personality shines through during live sessions.
I wish to thank you very much for your work and the courses, I am sure I will be re-watching the videos many times, because they are packed with valuable knowledge."
Kamilla, June 2023
The English Conversation Course is a beautiful addition to my signature online etiquette course. It supports both international and British women in speaking with greater ease and confidence within traditional British social settings.

"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."

Emma will invite you to submit your questions before each Monthly Online Group Q&A 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.
