The course is a combination of conceptual learning and hands-on experience, with the majority of the training program (75%) focused on learning through application exercises, case studies, presentations, scenario settings, and events and ceremonies management. These practical exercises are designed to simulate real-life environments, allowing participants to practice and deliver in settings similar to those they will encounter in their professional lives.

The Diplomatic Protocol and Ceremonial online course equip participants with a practical toolkit that can be applied to future diplomatic engagements.
