Diplomatic Etiquette, Protocol and Ceremonial

Starts 6th May 2024

The Diplomatic Protocol and Ceremonial online Course is expertly developed and instructed by some of the world's leading figures in the field. The course provides participants with an interactive platform for learning and sharing of expertise and experiences and aligns with the latest trends in diplomatic training. It aims to train the next generation of diplomatic leaders to excel in the 21st-century diplomatic environment.

The course is delivered online and goes beyond the conceptual understanding of Diplomatic Protocol and Ceremonial, to teach participants how to develop Protocol and Ceremonial guidelines that ensure consistency and expertise are passed on and maintained throughout the organisation.

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.

The course is designed to provide a hands-on approach to learning about different aspects of diplomatic protocol and ceremony, with a focus on enhancing practitioners' skills in a globalised and interdependent world. The course also emphasises the importance of understanding the role of digital communication in protocol and ceremonial practices.
