cap in hand

31/7/2020

If we [go cap in hand], we humbly ask for a favour:

The meaning comes from the days when wearing a cap or hat was considered part of a man’s wardrobe when out of the house.

To show respect, you would take your hat off and hold it in your hand, especially when the person you are talking to is more senior in rank or holds a position of respect (the bank manager).
Our online courses and modules are designed with you in mind:

  • flexible: you have busy lives, so our courses fit your schedule
  • practical: we use everyday examples and situations to help you understand
  • practice: there is only one way to improve; mistakes are there to help us learn
  • support: a personal mentor works with you
