Curriculum: The Course Modules
Module 1: The Code of Ethics
Moral Compass
Defining integrity in the grey areas. We use “Situational Judgment Tests” (SJTs) to train you on handling conflicts of interest, bribery, and data privacy issues.
Module 2: Digital Mannerism (Netiquette)
Virtual Presence
The rules of the digital road. tone-checking emails, Slack/Teams etiquette, “Ghosting” prevention, and maintaining professionalism on Zoom calls.
Module 3: Social Polish & Dining
Client Facing
Whether it’s a gala or a coffee chat, mannerism matters. Master introductions, handshakes (and alternatives), table manners, and the art of “small talk” that builds rapport.
Module 4: Workplace Respect & Bias
HR Compliance
A critical module on creating a psychological safe environment. Understanding consent, boundaries, active listening, and respecting cultural differences in a diverse US workforce.
Client-Facing Professionals
Salespeople, Consultants, and Account Managers. You are the face of the company. A single slip in mannerism or an ethical lapse can cost your firm a million-dollar contract.
Fresh Graduates
Gen Z entering the workforce. If you are used to casual campus life, this module bridges the gap to corporate expectations, explaining the "why" behind professional dress and punctuality.
Compliance Officers & HR
Individuals looking to specialize in People Operations. This course provides the foundational vocabulary needed to enforce company policies and train others.
Academy Advantage
Case Study Method
We analyze real-world corporate scandals (e.g., Enron, Theranos, Uber) to understand where ethical lapses began and how they could have been prevented.
EQ Integration
Manners without empathy are just robotics. We teach you to read the room emotionally, ensuring your good manners make others feel comfortable, not judged.
The "Remote" Update
Most etiquette books are outdated. We focus heavily on asynchronous courtesy—how to respect colleagues’ time zones and digital boundaries in a remote world.
Certified Professional Conduct Specialist (CPCS)
Upon completion, you will be awarded the CPCS Credential.
This certification is a risk-mitigation asset. For employers, seeing this on your resume signals that you are a “Low-Risk Hire”—someone who understands compliance, respects brand reputation, and will represent the organization with class.
