Upcoming batches

Small cohorts, so seats are limited. When a batch is full it is marked full and the next date is listed beneath it.

For the fee, talk to our L&D consultants. Every seat includes materials, the certificate, lunch and tea, and group bookings of three or more are priced together. Register by email at register@princetonacademy.co.in or on WhatsApp.

Which workshop is right for you

Six programmes, one curriculum. All six are practised rather than lectured, assessed on the Sabira Merchant rubric and certified.

One day · Working professionals

Corporate Grooming & Etiquette

The flagship. Presence, business protocol, a working lunch, conversation, grooming and dress, in one full day. For managers, client-facing professionals and business owners.

Half day · Single topic

Business Dining Etiquette

A full working meal at a Mumbai hotel, coached course by course. Hosting, being hosted, the cutlery, the conversation and the bill. The most bookable single afternoon.

Two days · Students and first-jobbers

Young Professionals

Campus to corporate. First impressions, conversation, dining, digital conduct and the first ninety days at work. Parents often book this one, and groups of three are priced together.

Small cohort · Senior managers

Executive Presence for Leaders

Authority without volume. Voice, bearing, image and protocol for people who chair, host and speak for the organisation.

Frontline and client-facing roles

Client-Facing & Front-Office

Grooming and service etiquette for the people a customer meets first, in banking, hospitality, luxury retail, healthcare and field sales.

Global-facing roles

International Assignments

Business etiquette for people posted abroad and for those who work with overseas principals, clients and colleagues.

Open-workshop registration

Transfers, substitutions and cancellations

Plans change. These are the rules of thumb. The exact terms for your batch, including any deadlines, are stated on the registration confirmation you receive with your invoice.

  • Transfers. A confirmed seat can be moved to a later batch of the same programme, on request before the deadline stated on the confirmation.
  • Substitutions. A colleague or family member can attend in your place. Tell the L&D consultant the new name before joining instructions go out, so the certificate is issued correctly.
  • Cancellations. Cancellation and refund terms are stated on the registration confirmation. Ask before you pay if you need them in advance.
  • If we cancel. If a batch does not run, you choose a transfer to the next date or a full refund.
  • Invoices. Every seat is invoiced by Princeton Academy with GST. Give the company name and GSTIN when you register if your employer is paying.

No date suits?

Express interest and hear first

If none of the listed dates work, or the programme you want has no batch scheduled yet, tell an L&D consultant which workshop and roughly when. New batches are announced to the interest list before they are published here, and seats are held for the people on it for a short window.

Before you book

Who conducts the sessions?

Every programme is designed and overseen by Sabira Merchant. Sessions are delivered by faculty she has trained and certified on her curriculum. Depending on the format, batch and schedule, Ms Merchant may conduct part of a session personally. The content, the standards and the assessment are hers in every case.

Where are the workshops held?

In Mumbai, at a hotel or training venue named with each batch. Business Dining Etiquette is always held at a hotel restaurant, because the meal is the practical. Directions come with the joining instructions.

Can my company book several seats?

Yes. Groups of three or more are priced together, and the invoice can be raised to the company with GST. For a whole team, an in-company programme scoped to your organisation is usually the better fit. See For Companies.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes. Every open workshop closes with a short practical assessment on the Sabira Merchant rubric, and participants who complete it receive a certificate of completion on the Sabira Merchant curriculum, issued through Princeton Academy.

Book a seat, or ask for the next date.

An L&D consultant replies on WhatsApp or by email with the fee, the venue and a payment link.
