The gentlemen are schooled in public speaking, networking, deportment, dancing and wine tasting. For the modern metrosexual there are lessons in dress sense, skin and hair care, and even new haircuts on offer. And during their leisure time the gentlemen have the chance to sample pursuits such as golf, clay...
