The British School Of Excellence
Building Confidence – Changing Lives

At the very heart of The British School of Excellence’s philosophy is an absolute conviction that everyone – regardless of their nationality, age, profession or education – has the potential to develop into the best versions of themselves through world class training and coaching.

Our etiquette, emotional intelligence and personal development courses will give you the skills and tools to develop your confidence in any social or business environment and make the changes you need to truly achieve your potential. We invite you to engage with us today to enhance and enrich your personal and professional lives in ways you never thought were possible.

WHAT IS ETIQUETTE?

In a nutshell, it is an unwritten code of behaviours, designed to ease social interactions in both our personal and business lives. Learning and mastering the rules of etiquette will help you build confidence, engage with others, and progress professionally.

For many people the word ‘etiquette’ has rather unfairly acquired old -fashioned connotations that hark back to a time when gentlemen wore hats and ladies kept their hands covered by white gloves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Etiquette is just as relevant today as it was in Victorian times – perhaps even more so, as we live in a world where technological globalisation has seen our daily interactions transcend geographical boundaries and move beyond face-to-face communication.

Respect, kindness and consideration sit at the very heart of modern etiquette and these principles should inform our conduct and behaviour at all times.

WHY IS ETIQUETTE IMPORTANT?

The point of etiquette is not to confuse or irritate people. Quite the opposite in fact: etiquette exists to make everyone’s lives easier – including your own. When you know what rules to follow, you feel more at ease and are able to focus your attention fully on the people around you.

Treating others with courtesy, kindness and respect is vital if you want to succeed in today’s competitive world.

Good manners often become second nature if we are taught them from an early age so parents need to be aware of the behaviours they are modelling. However, the good news is that it is never too late to acquire good social skills and master the etiquette rules that will help you sail through a job interview, formal dinner or international business meeting.

News

We're Excited to Share our News with You

The British School of Etiquette has over the last six years become the leader in providing etiquette training and coaching for children, teenagers, adults, professionals and etiquette trainers from all over the world. 

We are the only etiquette training and coaching practice based in Britain that is accredited by Investors in People, CPD Standards UK and The Institute of Leadership & Management in the UK. We have helped thousands of people to master the art of polite behaviour in society by helping them become the best versions of themselves. 

Today I am excited to announce the launch of our new name, The British School of Excellence. Excellence is defined as “the quality of being outstanding or extremely good”. And so our ethos described by our previous vision which was to “master the rules, grow and succeed” has evolved into a new focus on “building confidence, and changing lives”. We will do this by continuing to provide best in practice etiquette courses as well as our new personal development, emotional intelligence and leadership programmes which are aimed at all knowledge workers, professionals, managers and business owners. 

I encourage you to visit our new website www.thebritishschoolofexcellence.com to discover these new courses and meet our team of highly experienced training and coaching experts who live and breathe the very definition of excellence. 

As we continue to build our business based on excellence in all its forms please keep an eye out for our new courses on personal image and brand building, communication, customer service, sales training, presentation skills training, entrepreneurship and business training, which are all being developed as I speak. 

So today I say thank you to all our past students who have helped us become who we are and welcome new friends and students, professionals and business executives to engage with us to enhance and enrich your personal and work lives in very practical and transformational ways.

Warm Regards
