This Certification is Right for You:
You want to start a business teaching manners to children.
You want a curriculum ready to teach from day one, PreK through high school, so you're not starting from scratch.
You want six to eight live, one to two hour sessions with me personally, not a login and a video library to work through alone.
You want to start now, on your own timeline, instead of waiting for a fixed class date.
You want mentorship that continues after certification, so you're never figuring this out by yourself.
You can schedule your sessions today and start training this week.
Julie and Michelle said it plainly after finishing their training: “Lisa truly embodied the qualities she teaches: grace, confidence, and professionalism.” That’s the experience you’re buying: a mentor who has already walked this exact path, twenty-three years in the making.

How the Live Virtual Training Works
Step 1
Once you register and book your training dates, you will receive instant access to the complete Manners To Go™ resource library. You can download all of the teaching and student materials onto your own computer so you can start reading and learning right away. You may want to review the materials before your training.
Step 2
Schedule the dates for your six to eight private online sessions with me. These calls can be done via live video or over the phone, depending on your preference, and will be scheduled at your convenience. Some licensees choose to schedule their training sessions once a week, others opt for twice a week.
Step 3
Once the date for a training session has been set, you will receive a link via email for our video call, as well as a downloadable guide to prepare you for the upcoming session. During these sessions, we will focus on your needs and questions about how to teach the materials and grow your business effectively.
Step 4
Once you complete your training sessions, you will be officially certified and licensed to teach the program. You will be able to use the Manners To Go branding in your marketing materials and will receive a logo asset to put on your website stating that you are certified and licensed by the American Academy of Etiquette and Manners To Go, an international brand, to teach manners to children.
Step 5
You have the rights to use all the Manners To Go materials and branding for 3 years without paying any fees or royalties during the license term. You will have complete access to any new and/or updated teaching and marketing resources that are added to the resource library during this time. After the three-year term, refresher training is $750 to continue using the materials and branding.
There is no need to travel or wait for a class. Manners To Go™ is customized to your needs and time frame. This saves you time and money.

Lisa Richey, Your Etiquette Certification Instructor
Like you, I want children to learn good manners and feel confident in every room they walk into, at the dinner table, in a classroom, or when meeting someone new for the first time. That confidence follows them.
I’ve spent 23 years building that confidence in children, as the founder of Manners To Go™ and an international keynote speaker. Join the movement when you’re ready.
