Earning an Etiquette Consulting Certificate through The Etiquette Institute and Gonzaga University's Center for Lifelong Learning, gives you confidence and credibility as either an independent etiquette coach/consultant or your organization’s in-house etiquette specialist.  The certificate will prepare you to teach etiquette basics to a variety of audiences including children, adolescents, college students, new and emerging professionals, and corporate leaders.  Whether you are providing etiquette coaching services to either individuals or groups, a profession in etiquette education gives you both career independence and schedule flexibility.  This career can be meaningful, challenging, and fun, and is frequently attractive to stay-at-home parents, retirees, entrepreneurs, career services professionals, and career changers.

​

Corporations, educational institutions, and professional organizations frequently send employees to secure this credential because it leads to enhanced client relationships, bottom-line profitability, and customer satisfaction.  An in-house etiquette consultant can address the needs of interns and employees, enhance training and orientation programs for new hires, bring seasoned executives up to date on the changing nuances of business and professional etiquette, and circumvent inappropriate employee behaviors that could negatively impact an organization’s reputation.

​

Universities and colleges find it cost effective to have career services professionals or faculty members trained and certified to give presentations and dining tutorials that give students a competitive edge as they enter the workforce.

There are no restricted territories, contracts to sign or residuals to remit to The Etiquette Institute, the current President (Ray), or the Founder (Maria). Furthermore, there are no annual membership fees.
