Sydney Model and
Etiquette College

We highly recommend the Sydney Model and Etiquette College for anyone seeking to improve their confidence, self esteem and personal presentation. The course content exceeded our expectations and ticked all the boxes that we were looking for, plus more.

My fourteen year old granddaughter attended the school holiday workshop and is still raving about it. She has more confidence in herself and now believes that she can achieve anything. It has been a real boost to her self esteem. The photos taken on the professional photo shoot were just perfect.

Val does a wonderful job encouraging young people to feel good about themselves, and also emphasizes the importance of a good education. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result and are so happy that we found your website.

The 3-day model & etiquette course taught me how to present myself both in modelling and real life. It broadened my knowledge of the modelling industry and provided key tips on how it works and how to succeed. I suggest it if you’re looking for a fast-tracked course that provides all the information you need about becoming a model.

I first spoke to Val Edwards 18 months ago when I was researching for a deportment class for my daughter Anika, who was 16 at the time. I found Val’s school, “Sydney Model Agency and Etiquette College”, via google, and was quite impressed by the course content she offered. The course also included a professional photo shoot. I then spoke to Val in person to investigate further, and soon found her to be a very warm and engaging person who just came across as not only extremely knowledgeable within her field, but also has an amazing connection with young people. I then consequently enrolled Anika into the 3 day Model and Etiquette class January 2024. Anika loved the course thoroughly and has since had work within hours that fit in with her school timetable. I would highly recommend Val’s agency not only due to the professionalism of her college, but also how Val gets to know each individual student and model well.

“Val Edwards’ energy, passion and commitment to her Sydney Etiquette College are qualities which are much admired and respected by her many clients and students.

For over 20 years its been my pleasure to see the continued success of her wonderful organisation. Val’s wealth of experience has enabled her to impart her vast knowledge to those who wish to ‘be the very best they can be’.

I have seen people of all ages, from all walks of life, truly benefit from Val’s courses and workshops. May Val Edwards continue to be an integral part of the world of fashion and etiquette.”

“I completed the Sydney Etiquette Course in 2004, when I was thirteen years old. The course taught me valuable life skills, such as how to walk, talk and act with respect, manner and grace, as well as modeling skills in catwalk, print and TVCs. Sydney Etiquette College have also provided me with exciting film and photo shoot opportunities, such as Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ and the Packer-Murdoch documentary ‘Power Games’.

I also gained work doing photo shoots for fashion labels like ‘Wild Pony’ – launched at Sydney Fashion Week in 2006, and Canon’s ‘Orbis’ launch. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to accompany Val to many fantastic events and shows over the years, most recently the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. I am now working full-time in marketing, and still value the life lessons Val taught me so many years ago.

I highly recommend the course to all girls and boys (especially aspiring models!) who are interested in learning skills that will be significantly useful throughout their lives.”
