My Why

About The One-Day Perfectly Poised Etiquette & Style Course The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette is delighted to collaborate with the Stylist Academy London for the Perfectly Poised Etiquette & Style Course on Saturday 19 October 2019. This one-day programme is designed to prepare ladies for their upcoming festive social and business occasions, ensuring they are confident in areas such as understanding British dress codes and what to wear to complement their body shape, what to expect when attending certain types of events, how to make an impressive entrance, and the art of making conversation with anybody that they meet. The course will be held at The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette which is based in the heart of Mayfair, London, opposite the shops and boutiques of Bond Street and situated on Piccadilly, one of London’s most famous and beautiful streets, just moments away from The Ritz Hotel. There will be a maximum of ten ladies attending, which ensures the course remains intimate, allowing plenty of opportunity to ask questions. About The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette offers both private tuition and group classes in London, UK. Etiquette programmes are specifically designed for international ladies who wish to educate themselves with knowledge of British social and business etiquette. Classes aim to empower individuals with the necessary skills so they can approach new situations with ease and confidence, ensuring they can develop new relationships and make the most of opportunities that come their way. With fifteen years of previous experience working in the City of London within the corporate sector, Emma’s tuition is based on a wealth of wisdom, along with the knowledge of living and working in one of the world’s leading financial centres. Meeting people from many nationalities and cultures led her to take a keen interest in the subject of etiquette and protocol, how the knowledge and practice of it can greatly influence success, along with the challenges facing international people visiting and living in London. This inspired her to retrain and launch The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette. Emma specialises in teaching international ladies from all over the world, helping them to gain elegance, style and poise through attendance of her Signature Programme, the Lady’s Three-Day Etiquette and Empowerment Course, which is available both as private tuition and also through group courses that run throughout the year. Following the completion of the course, students will be invited to join The Alumni Society, the complimentary membership club offered by The Emma Dupont School of Etiquette. Whilst attending an etiquette class is a wonderful first step towards creating new opportunities for both business and social situations, without practice and reinforcement many of the skills learnt can be lost over a period of time. The Alumni Society provides an opportunity to continue practicing and developing these skills, in a safe and friendly environment, led by Emma. Events include complimentary soirées where you will meet like-minded ladies, refresher courses, and opportunities to attend luxury events and collaborations in London.
