As a senior leader within a luxury hotel group, I have seen many training programmes over the years, but none have delivered the level of transformation that The British School of Excellence achieved for us. Customer service has always been at the heart of our business, yet we recognised that consistency, confidence, and emotional intelligence needed to be elevated across all our properties. Dr Philip Sykes... and his team delivered training that was both practical and inspiring, empowering our people to deliver service that truly reflects the standards of a world-class luxury brand. The impact has been remarkable. Guest satisfaction scores have risen, staff morale has improved, and our reputation for excellence has strengthened globally. What set this training apart was the ability to connect etiquette and emotional intelligence with measurable business outcomes. It has taken our business to a new level of success, and I would recommend it without hesitation to any luxury hospitality group committed to excellence. Read More

Vice President, Luxury Hotel Group

Our organisation operates across multiple regions, and we knew that cultural intelligence was key to building stronger client relationships and improving collaboration between our international teams. The British School of Excellence provided exactly what we needed—training that was practical, insightful, and aligned with our brand values. The results have been outstanding. We’ve seen a noticeable... rise in professionalism and consistency across our teams, stronger leadership at every level, and improved client loyalty. Staff turnover has decreased, morale has gone up, and our reputation for excellence is now recognised both internally and externally. What impressed me most was the tailored approach. This wasn’t generic training—it was designed specifically for us, and it delivered measurable results. For any premium or luxury brand with a global presence, I cannot recommend The British School of Excellence highly enough. Read More

Michael T
Global Managing Director, International Luxury Group

As the CEO of a global luxury brand, I have very high expectations when it comes to training and development. We cannot afford inconsistencies in service or representation—our people are our brand. Working with Dr Philip Sykes and The British School of Excellence has been one of the most valuable strategic investments we have made. The programme was direct, impactful, and completely aligned... with our standards of excellence. My senior leaders left with sharper communication skills, greater confidence in the boardroom, and a clear understanding of how to carry our brand values into every interaction. What impressed me most was the immediate, measurable difference. Our teams are more engaged, our service delivery is more consistent, and the feedback from our clients has been outstanding. This isn’t theoretical training—it delivers results. For any organisation operating at the top end of the market, I would consider this work essential. Read More

Jonathan R
CEO

Working with Dr Philip Sykes has been nothing short of life-changing. His private coaching challenged me to raise my standards, refine my presence, and approach every interaction with confidence and clarity. Philip’s ability to blend traditional etiquette with modern leadership skills is extraordinary. Within days, I noticed a marked difference in how people responded to me—whether in the boardroom,... at social events, or even in everyday conversations. What sets him apart is his genuine care and personal attention. He doesn’t just teach etiquette; he transforms the way you see yourself and the impact you make on others. I now carry myself with a new level of assurance, and the skills I gained have opened doors I never imagined. This investment in myself has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made.

I attended the Fine Dining Etiquette course in Mayfair and it was truly life-changing. Before the course I often felt nervous in formal dining settings, unsure of which glass or piece of cutlery to use. Philip Sykes created such a welcoming and elegant atmosphere that I quickly felt at ease. The session was engaging, practical, and full of useful tips that I could apply immediately. I now feel confident navigating any table,... from business lunches to special occasions. Learning how to manage awkward situations gracefully and practising conversation skills at the table made a huge difference. The highlight was enjoying a beautiful three-course meal while putting everything into practice. I left not only with new skills but also with a sense of assurance that I can carry with me into both my professional and personal life. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to build confidence and present themselves with elegance in any dining situation. Read More

Before this workshop, I always felt nervous meeting new people and speaking up in class. I thought confidence was something you were either born with or not. Spending a day with Dr Philip Sykes completely changed that for me. I learnt how much of a difference body language and first impressions really make. Practising introductions, posture, and even how to enter a room gave me confidence I didn’t know I had. The communication activities were also amazing—I now know how to keep a conversation going and actually enjoy it instead of worrying what to say next.... The part on mindset was the most powerful. I realised I’d been stuck in a fixed mindset, scared of making mistakes. Now I feel more motivated to try, to learn, and not give up when something feels difficult. Since the workshop, I’ve spoken more confidently in class, started preparing better for exams, and even felt calmer in my sports team interviews. I walked away feeling like I had the tools to succeed not just at school, but in life. Read More

I didn’t know what to expect from the Mindset & Confidence workshop, but it turned out to be one of the best things I’ve done. I used to get nervous speaking in front of people and never felt sure how to make a good first impression. Dr Sykes made everything clear and easy to practise. I learnt how to shake hands properly, introduce myself with confidence, and even how to walk into a room without feeling awkward.... The interview practice and communication tips were really useful—I feel much more prepared for university interviews and even part-time job applications. What surprised me most was how much I learnt about mindset. I realised I was holding myself back by doubting myself too much. Now I try to focus on what I can do, instead of worrying about what might go wrong. I left the workshop feeling more confident in myself, and it’s already helping me at school and in sports. I’d recommend it to any teenager who wants to feel more confident about the future. Read More

James, 17

My name is Imoh Ekukinam, A Nigerian with a background in aviation. I am a former beauty queen and an entrepreneur. Growing up, etiquette and good manners was not something that was taught in schools, especially in this part of the world. Some of us were just lucky enough to have parents who instilled certain values in us. Even though at the time, I did not realize that what they were teaching was called “etiquette.”... As I have grown older and stepped into different rooms; whether in business, professional spaces, or social circles. I have come to understand just how important it is to carry yourself properly. Good manners and grace have opened doors for me, helped me connect with people and left lasting impressions. Throughout my journey, I have noticed that one of the fundamental challenges many people face, especially in this part of the world, is a lack of good manners and etiquette. I strongly believe that if we start grooming and educating young minds early, we can raise a generation of confident, well-mannered individuals. The poorly behaved adults we see today were once teenagers and I can’t help but wonder; if someone had mentored them, coached them, or guided them in the right direction, wouldn’t the world be a better place? Other than traveling the world and being an entrepreneur, I genuinely enjoy helping others figure out how to carry themselves better, how to behave with thoughtfulness and grace. This passion led to enroll with The British School of Excellence. The Train the Trainer program was just the right course to take. From sharing with us etiquette tips for professional, social and personal development to mastering presence, communication, fine dining skills, listening effectively, dressing well and even handling interviews with confidence. We did not just learn these things for personal growth. We were equipped to teach others. We were given hands-on tools to guide people on their own journey. It was such an engaging, practical, and enjoyable experience. Mr. Philip Sykes, our tutor, was incredibly warm and taught us in such a simple, relatable way. We also had amazing mentors like Transform with Mansi, Dr. Jacqueline and Leanne, who added so much value. After this course, I have finally been able to craft my elevator pitch; something I struggled with before. This experience has made me better. People around me are noticing the change already. I hope to use what I have learned to not just impact through training others but also create impactful products—like my upcoming etiquette card series where people can learn one practical tip a week and become polished by the end of the year. More than anything, I want to reach young girls. I believe that if we give the younger generation the right foundation, we will have a better society, one that is respectful, kind and well-behaved. If you are thinking of joining this program, do not hesitate. Whether you want to build a business or just improve yourself personally, this course will change you. It is simple, practical, and deeply enriching. It is truly one of the best investments I have made in myself in recent times. Thank you to The British School of Excellence for helping me become the woman I have always wanted to be! Refined, intentional and ready to help others grow. Read More

My experience with the British School of Excellence's Train the Trainer programme has been exceptional. Designed for aspiring certified etiquette consultants, the course provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently teach etiquette in both social and business environments. ... Through lessons on etiquette, emotional intelligence, and presentation skills, I gained invaluable tools that have significantly boosted my confidence in both personal and professional settings. This programme not only deepened my understanding of etiquette but also helped me unlock my full potential. I now feel fully prepared to handle any situation with grace and professionalism, and to pass this knowledge on to others. I appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to participate from another country. Although there were some challenges in connecting the live and online sessions in a hybrid format, the school generously offered me the opportunity to retake the programme in a fully online format via Zoom. This level of support truly exceeded my expectations. The alumni group is a fantastic resource, helping me stay connected and learn from the experiences of past participants. Overall, this programme has been a crucial step in my journey to becoming an etiquette consultant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue this path. Read More

The British School of Etiquette conducted a Train the Trainer Course in Pakistan on the 1st December 2018. It touched the core of my being and showed me what Etiquette and manners encompass.

Anne K

It was the most exhilarating experience of my life. I wish I had known all those golden nuggets that Mr. Philip Sykes shared with us a long time ago. I would have modulated my life in a much better way; I could have availed myself to change the trajectory of my future. But I believe it's never too late, and we learn each day. Thank you, Mr. Philip. My son quotes you every now and then. You are not just an integral part of my life, but rather our whole house. Wish you all the best.
