The Etiquette Institute is an international organization dedicated to teaching contemporary manners according to the standards of traditional etiquette and the guidelines set forth in The Etiquette Institute's course of study.

The Etiquette Institute was founded by Maria Everding for the purpose of training and certifying adults to teach business, social, college, and children's etiquette programs as well as the popular dining etiquette tutorial.

Universities, corporations, and professional organizations send staff to The Etiquette Institute to be trained and certified because it is cost effective and leads to bottom-line profitability. Individuals also attend in order to start their own etiquette consulting/coaching businesses.

After certification, consultants become members of The Etiquette Institute. There are no annual fees or dues to belong to The Etiquette Institute.
