International Protocol Specialist Training

Join us for our 5-Day Certification Program

“Train to be an International Protocol Specialist”

San Diego, California:

September 11-15, 2023

Our updated modules are the culmination of the knowledge earned in the completion of a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Diplomacy from the Diplo Foundation and the University of Malta in 2022.

Diplomatic protocol is an ever-evolving set of rules that provide freedom for diplomatic discourse, cultural / business exchanges and strategic negotiations. In effect, protocol and diplomacy are inextricably entwined. Even with all the rules in place, things can go wrong: “Gaffes are probably even more memorable than the occasions which run smoothly.” (Rivett, 2018). It’s not just about protocol and creating the perfect backdrop…it’s about anticipating and understanding the diplomatic goals for the event.

Protocol Specialists are the ultimate diplomats; the choreographers, who direct the dance of diplomacy.

The impact of strong international relations is immeasurable and is dependent upon protocol, diplomacy and cross-cultural fundamentals. The International Protocol Institute of California is dedicated to fostering that endeavor through its intensive international protocol training programs.
