Working with Mari has been a delight over the past two years. She has been an excellent source of knowledge of Japanese etiquette and protocol and has remotely assisted us with projects in the UK, as well delivered training to several clients of The English Manner - always receiving excellent feedback. Mari's work ethic is unquestioned and she always goes above and beyond to deliver for us. Thank you!

My knowledge and behaviour as a top executive of a prestigious company has changed to a higher level, and I am amazed at how much I have changed. This is also thanks to Ms Murata. I feel that it is coaching from the top.

I signed up for the virtual protocol, Japanese etiquette and basic training for myself and my team with the International Academy of Japan. They were a wonderful team to work with. They assisted in designing the course that fit our needs and provided very professional training. The instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate about protocol etiquette and the influence that it has on developing trusting intercultural relationships and partnerships.

This was a real master, different in translation from other protocol teachers. She was powerful, professional, knowledgeable and inspiring. I would definitely like to continue with your guidance.

It made me strongly feel that international protocol is necessary for the growth of a company. I also had to learn how to behave when meeting royal family members, which was a great learning experience.

Institutional Partnership & Engagement Policy

The Protocol of Engagement and Excellence

ICPA is not merely a service provider; we are strategic partners in architecting your organisation’s global stature. To maintain the sanctity of international protocol, we adhere to the following rigorous standards of engagement.

1. Institutional Selection and Vetting

The Requirement for Mutual Alignment and Assessment

To preserve the academic purity and authority of international protocol, ICPA implements a comprehensive vetting process for all prospective institutional partnerships. We enter into formal engagements exclusively with organisations whose vision and ethos align with our unwavering commitment to global excellence. This preliminary assessment is a vital protocol to safeguard the prestigious educational environment we guarantee to our distinguished clients.

2. Contractual Integrity and Professional Standards

The Foundation of Trust through Legal and Ethical Rigour

True partnership is built upon mutual respect and definitive professional frameworks. ICPA operates under a strict code of conduct and legal rigour aligned with international diplomatic and business standards. We prioritise transparent, authoritative agreements that safeguard the intellectual property and professional dignity of both parties. We do not engage in “transactional service orders,” but rather in “intellectual partnerships” defined by shared responsibility and excellence.

3. Strategic Bespoke Architecture

Designing Unique Solutions for Sovereign Objectives

There are no “ready-made” products at ICPA. Every programme is a Strategic Bespoke Architecture, designed only after a profound analysis of your organisation’s diplomatic objectives and cultural landscape. We do not sell courses; we architect a refined presence that harmonises with your institution’s history and future aspirations.

4. Evaluation of Global Presence

Measuring Success through Elevated International Stature

The effectiveness of an ICPA engagement is not measured by a mere satisfaction survey, but by the tangible elevation of your organisation’s global presence. We evaluate our impact against rigorous international benchmarks, ensuring that your representatives are received with absolute authority, confidence, and respect in any sovereign or corporate setting worldwide.

5. Custodians of Ethics and Confidentiality

Upholding the Sanity of Reputation and Professionalism

ICPA consultants are more than educators; they are the custodians of international ethics and refined intelligence. We maintain the highest levels of discretion and a zero-tolerance policy regarding any conduct that compromises professional integrity. We prioritise the long-term reputation of our partners over short-term commercial gains, providing a sanctuary of professional advisory for the institutions we serve.
