About a Career as an Etiquette Consultant

Imagine having a rewarding high-paying job that lets you share your love of good manners with adults, children and companies. Welcome to the world of etiquette consulting!

As an etiquette consultant, you can teach people the etiquette skills they need to succeed in business and in life. They will know the right thing to say or do courtesy of you.

You might offer personal coaching or group training programs in all areas of etiquette (including etiquette classes, etiquette training or etiquette school), or you could choose to specialize in an area such as: business etiquette, children’s etiquette, communication etiquette, dining etiquette, international protocol, social etiquette, or wedding etiquette.

While many individuals hire etiquette consultants, you might also be hired by corporate clients. For example, you might teach an executive to make a good impression with clients from different countries.

Etiquette consultants are also paid up to thousands of dollars a day to present training programs (seminars or workshops) on topics related to etiquette, such as telephone etiquette for customer service staff.

My business is Voice, Communication and Confidence Training and to reinforce some of the work I do with clients I enrolled in the Etiquette Course. Excellent from the outset, the course is certainly helping me to widen my professional portfolio and it is lovely to add an IAP qualification to my experience. From initial purchase to receiving the qualifying certificate, IAP delivered exactly what was promised. It really is delightful and refreshing to find efficiency, value for money and such good will in one package and I would certainly consider other IAP Courses in the future.
