Corporate Training
Bringing ICPA to Your InstitutionAn institution's standing
resides in the bearing of its people
The standing of an institution recognised on the world stage is not determined by strategy, nor by scale. It is determined by the conduct, language, and cultural intelligence of every individual who represents it.
ICPA’s corporate training is designed to elevate this very bearing of an institution's people, in a coherent and systematic manner — for governments, embassies, corporations, medical institutions, and beyond. Our methodology is grounded in proven engagements with the U.S. Government, foreign embassies, leading global corporations, and major media including Netflix.
This is not a manners course. It is the intellectual and reproducible discipline through which every member of an institution is prepared to stand at the forefront of international engagement — representing your organisation with the dignity it deserves.

Principal Programme Areas
— Five Areas of Specialisation
The four principal areas of corporate training offered by ICPA. All programmes are tailored to the purpose, scale, and sector of your institution.
Executive etiquette training in diplomatic protocol, international social etiquette, and global business etiquette. For those engaged in international relations, cross-border transactions, and the reception of state guests.
Imperial Japanese protocol, Japanese business etiquette, and the philosophy of omotenashi. For those who represent Japanese institutions internationally, or engage with Japan in depth.
Executive etiquette and refined bearing for senior management. Conduct, impression, and communication befitting those who represent the institution at the highest level — Japanese etiquette and protocol for executives, taught with precision.
Cultural intelligence in multinational environments. Practical training for those preparing for international assignments, foreign-facing departments, and global teams.
In addition, tiered training (entry-level through senior executive), departmental training (international relations, sales, executive assistance, general affairs), and sector-specific training (medical, legal, diplomatic, media) are also available. Specifics are designed in consultation.
Our Heritage
— A trajectory of distinction
From the founding of the Academy in 2016 to the present day, ICPA has consistently pursued a singular philosophy — the synthesis of Japanese cultural depth with international standards.
Engagement Process
— Five Stages of Partnership
ICPA’s corporate engagements begin with a careful design of the curriculum best suited to your institution. Rather than off-the-shelf packages, we offer bespoke programmes built upon each institution's purpose, culture, and challenges.
Client Voices
— Reflections from Institutional Engagements
Selected reflections from leaders of institutions that have engaged ICPA for corporate training.
More than a manners course — this was an experience that fundamentally elevated the bearing of our entire organisation. The presence of our executive team in international engagements has visibly transformed; the response we receive in overseas negotiations is markedly different. ICPA's training is a rare discipline that refines neither strategy nor technique, but the person themselves.
As training for diplomatic professionals across nations, the depth and rigour of this curriculum is unmatched. The integration of authentic Japanese cultural foundation with international standards is exquisitely executed, and the participating staff have offered the highest evaluations of both the substance of the training and the calibre of the Principal's perspective. Essential for those engaged in diplomatic work.
Through the British gentleman's etiquette supervision for our film, we experienced first-hand the depth of ICPA's expertise and the practicality of its application on set. The uncompromising attention to detail, and the rigorous verification of cultural authenticity, raised the calibre of our work in a manner unmistakable to any viewer.
