A school where one learns to... well, be a member of The Oldest Profession, usually as a High-Class Call Girl. Rather than what you might first imagine—Double Pole-Dancing and bondage—the classes are more likely to be on seduction, etiquette and entertaining. The women are trained to serve wealthy, sophisticated clients who want more than just a good time between the sheets. By the time she graduates, she'll be equally confident ordering wine at a fine restaurant, attending an opera soiree, or lounging in a silk negligee. Related to Band of Brothels. Despite the title, this trope is completely unrelated to Ohtori Academy. Examples |

Memoirs of a Geisha shows how the girls work their way up in an apprentice-type system. While a literal example of this trope, as geisha are taught to be seductive and beautiful, they are not taught actual sex, and the instances where they work as prostitutes are unconnected with their training. | |

The Court of Night Blooming Flowers in Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series is a collection of brothels in a society in which prostitution is considered a sacred calling. Courtesans who are born in or adopted into the Night Court are given instruction in the arts of the salon (music, etiquette, etc.) as well as the arts of the bedchambers. It's an apprenticeship system, with titles and rites of initiation. You are expected to pay off your debt to the House that raised and trained you by working for them (though not necessarily as a prostitute) as part of Indentured Servitude (since they did spend money on making you a courtesan after all). There are a few loopholes in it, however, which the lead of the first Trilogy works at closing so no one will be abused. | |

Codex Alera: Lord Kalare is said to have used a training program incorporating this as well as other things for his female agents. The Cursor academy also had classes on this, though not all female agents were required to attend (the one female Cursor who is a major character didn't). | |

The Bene Gesserit in Dune are a faction who plans to manipulate the breeding lines of the great houses to produce a Kwisatz Haderach. As such they often manipulate individuals to marry, or a Bene Gesserit will marry into a particular family, all in the hopes that someday they will accomplish their goal. Later in the series, we see the Honored Matres, who are more explicitly a school of seduction. | |

The Wife Bank in Lexx, at which unwanted girls are abandoned by their parents, raised in boxes by impersonal holograms to be fawning and sexually insatiable, and then given as presents to the sons of upper-class families. (Graduates who "fail to perform their wifely duties" are electronically brainwashed into "love slaves", with an unstable, psychotic, one-track-minded devotion — and an expiry date. Yep, Crapsack World.) | |

Eva in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater admits to going to one of these as a child... where the Boss was an instructor. Considering her "talents" (both types), without a doubt it was one of these, or at least had it as a major. According to the Metal Gear Solid Database, the "Charm School" was a Philosopher-run facility for the training of female spies and sleepers, so it was probably more the latter case. | |

An unexpected variation in one episode of Criminal Minds (though it's only mentioned, not actually seen): The "class" a madam provides for her call girls is in staying under the radar. How to behave and look like you belong in polite society, how to walk into a hotel like a registered guest instead of a prostitute. It helps the team realize that the client-murdering call girl they're looking for was born in the upper class, because she didn't need help fitting into those environments. She also, presumably, didn't need any help in the actual seduction either, since tracking her that way isn't even discussed. | |

The various Companion temples in Firefly. In "Heart of Gold", Inara, the Serenity's resident Companion, who normally resents the word "whore", freely uses it in relation to the girls working at a brothel her friend is running. The difference? The girls are only taught the usual sex-related tricks but none of the true Companion training. |

Predestination. The protagonist is recruited into the Space Corps which recruits women to provide sexual and emotional comfort for astronauts on long term missions. Rather than prostitutes (who are often psychologically unsuitable for space work) the recruiters prefer virgins because they can be trained from scratch. | |
