Course Description

Etiquette 101 is an overview of today's etiquette rules, updated for today's fast-paced lifestyles and ever-changing codes of conduct for work and leisure. The role of etiquette has changed over the years. At one time, it served as an indicator of each person's proper station in life. Today, etiquette helps smooth the path of our daily activities, whether it's meeting others in our daily interactions, talking to someone on the phone, offering condolences properly or understanding how to talk to colleagues at a business conference.

In Etiquette 101, you'll learn the rules of good behavior for today's most common social and business situations, including the common courtesies of life that many of us have forgotten or may not have learned, from when to offer your seat on a bus to a stranger to how to share a cab. It will also go over telephone etiquette, with the updated rules for cell phone use and the new rules for office calls.

Correspondence, including emails, entertaining and being a polite guest, giving and receiving gifts and life's big events are all covered, with examples – both good and bad! There is also a section on life situations that are never easy, such as death and divorce, with etiquette suggestions that will help you navigate the minefield of emotions surrounding these situations.

Finally, a section on workplace etiquette covers the details of everything from how to relate to your boss and subordinates to keeping your social life and work separate. Etiquette 101 will teach you everything you need to know to move graciously through today's world.

Student Testimonials

"I found the section related to correspondence very helpful. I have found that I have become too relaxed with appropriate correspondence by using e-mail and other social media instead of what I was taught as a child. Written thank-you notes are always acceptable and preferable. The Instructor was prompt with feedback and with grading the assignments. I enjoyed the class very much and have been able to "brush up" on my etiquette skills, in addition to learning a few things that I did not already know. " -- Kate B.
"I thought the instructor was very knowledgeable and presented the material very clearly. The assignments were clear and were geared to us learning. There were parts in every lesson that I found very helpful and useful in everyday life." -- Lauren W.
"Everything she taught in the class was perfect. She covered every subject perfectly, and it left no question. She is a very good instructor and I very much enjoyed the course. The course was very enjoyable,informative and very interesting. I looked forward to each lesson. This course would be highly recommend to take by everyone. We could all use a few lessons on this subject." -- MaryAnn C.
"I liked everything. Not a negative thing to say about it." -- Steven W.
"What helped me were the specific examples throughout the lessons. They were instrumental in helping me generalize the lessons to my life. This course has been extremely informative regarding proper etiquette. The knowledge I have gained has already helped me to feel more comfortable in social situations, as well as allowed me to put others at ease in my presence." -- Deanna W.
"This has been an enjoyable class for me. I have learned a lot and have been refreshed on some things that I had forgotten and should have been using. Thank you. All of the instruction was helpful. I enjoyed the discussion on etiquette for children; gift giving; and condolences. These were areas I most benefited from studying." -- Linda H.
"I liked that after reading and print out the lesson, I could then listen as well. This was very helpful for me." -- Zandra S.
