Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do the courses consist of?

It depends. We offer a lively mix of classroom learning, hands-on activities, and spoken-word tasks. But we also teach etiquette and protocol through dancing or dining — just to give a few examples. So it depends on the age group and the purpose of the learning. We also tailor our courses for specific needs, with courses for one individual or groups of children, teens, young adults, or adults.

2. How much does it cost?

Our fees vary according to your needs and aspirations. If desired, we will tailor a specific package or program to meet your objectives in accordance with your financial resources. Other cost considerations include travel; we will provide training at your site if desired. 

3. Why should my children or I take your training?

The answer is different and personal for everyone, but we can safely say that graduates of Diana Academy of Etiquette & Protocol will find themselves more confident, assured, poised, and professional. Let’s put it this way: whether you are young or old, you will be more of a leader than when you walked in the door. You will have more of a presence, which translates to social grace and power.

4. How can I use this training? How practical is it?

The day-to-day benefits are concrete and real. You can use it at school, in family situations, on the playground, or in job interviews. Or you can enhance your skill in meeting strangers, closing deals, or improving personal relationships. There are as many applications as there are social situations in any given day. Our training also provides tools for reducing youth violence and improving workplace culture.
