The Online Briefing

A Private Audience with the Founding Principal

Personally hosted by the Founding Principal · Admission by application · Private consultation included Reserved for those who genuinely intend to study with ICPA

— BRIEFING

An Audience with the Founding Principal A personal introduction, rarely extended

Mirei Cecilia Hakuba Founding Principal

ICPA extends the online briefing on an occasional basis, and only to those who genuinely intend to study with us. It is not a public seminar, but a private audience: the Founding Principal, Mirei Cecilia Hakuba, personally presents the philosophy of the Academy, the full scope of its programmes, the qualification framework, and the path to membership. A private consultation follows, for those who wish to consider their path in earnest.

What We Share with You The substance of our conversation

— I

Our Philosophy & Educational Ethos

Our Philosophy

The educational philosophy that defines ICPA — Cultural Elegance and Scientific Thinking, in concert. We share the reasoning behind why etiquette is taught as judgement, rather than memorisation.

— II

Programme Overview

Executive Etiquette, International Protocol, Japanese Protocol for executives, and our Specialised Programmes — we present each of the seven courses and help you identify the path most aligned with your aspirations.

— III

Qualifications & Career Pathways

Qualifications & Career

The ICPA qualification framework, pathways to becoming an accredited instructor, and the Accredited School Owner programme — we present the professional possibilities that await beyond certification.

— IV

Personal Consultation

A private consultation follows the briefing. We consider your background and aspirations together, and identify the programme most fitting to your purpose.
