By applying this method to several case studies, you will become proficient in preparing any type of meeting with dignitaries or other most valued stakeholders.

Learn how to become the protocol management expert of your organisation and be in charge of building strong relationships. After following our Protocol Training, you will be equipped to meet the challenges and complexities of contemporary protocol management and building strong relationships.

The in-person Protocol Training, given by Europe’s leading protocol experts – the authors of the book Protocol to Manage Relationship Today – also focusses on developing personal skills. Over several interactive classes, we will teach you diplomatic and networking skills.
