The Royal Ascension Program
Twelve months. Four Houses. One Crown.
The flagship program of HOUSE OF ASCENDED NOBILITY™ Academy, the Academy of Royal Etiquette. 100% online.
What the program is
Nobility is not merely inherited. It is demonstrated through character, conduct, responsibility and service. The Royal Ascension Program is a private, 100% online course of study in royal etiquette, leadership, character and professional development. You move through four Houses, complete the Royal Ascension Process and, when you earn it, receive the Academy's proprietary CKONE™ or CQONE™ designation.
The shape of the year
- 12 months, 48 teaching weeks
- About 9 hours a week: about 7 hours of coursework plus about 2 hours on your Royal Service Project
- 336 hours of coursework, and a 100-hour project completed alongside the coursework
- Live sessions run on Eastern time. You need a device, camera and microphone for them.
The Four Houses
House I: Foundation of Nobility (months 1 to 3). Character, identity, self-governance and historical understanding.
House II: Royal Conduct (months 4 to 6). Etiquette, dining, appearance, communication and social intelligence.
House III: The Royal Professional (months 7 to 9). Executive presence, leadership, diplomacy and stewardship.
House IV: The Crown (months 10 and 11). Relationships, service, governance and legacy.
Month 12: The Royal Ascension Process. Final examinations and the Crown Assessment.
Kings Path and Queens Path
Both paths take you through the same four Houses and the same Crown Assessment. You choose the designation you work toward.
Kings Path: leads to CKONE™, Certified King of Noble Excellence. The Documented Service Practicum is a 100-hour project completed alongside the coursework.
Queens Path: leads to CQONE™, Certified Queen of Noble Excellence. The Queenly Stewardship Project is a 100-hour project completed alongside the coursework.
