Professional Protocol Education: Certification & General Programmes
Refine Your Presence, Conduct, and Cultural Literacy for Global Settings

Join us for a clear overview of ICPA’s programmes—designed for those who wish to strengthen credibility, composure, and refined conduct in international environments.

Refined Conduct Is Global Literacy

In an increasingly connected world, trust is shaped through the smallest details—how you listen, how you speak, and how you carry yourself with dignity across cultures.

In today’s global environment, etiquette is not performance—it is the practical language of respect.
ICPA teaches protocol as a disciplined standard of behaviour, grounded in Japanese cultural refinement and aligned with international expectations.

Whether you are exploring a professional pathway as a certified instructor or seeking personal and executive refinement, this session will clarify the structure, outcomes, and learning approach of each track.

Join our Online Information Session to discover:

  • What “global etiquette and protocol” means at executive and formal levels

  • How Japanese refinement translates into internationally respected conduct

  • Two clear pathways: Professional Certification (Licence Track) or General Diploma (Personal Mastery)

  • How graduates apply these skills confidently in diplomacy, business, and formal social settings

Participant Perspectives

“The programme changed the way I carry myself in high-stakes intercultural settings. I now communicate with greater composure and clarity, and I can build trust more quickly—because my conduct is intentional, not improvised.”
Dr. Evelyn Hayes • Cross-Cultural
Consultant, London, UK
“The licence track gave me structure, credibility, and a clear professional pathway. The teaching resources are exceptionally well-prepared, which allowed me to begin delivering training with confidence—without years of material development.”
Kenji Sato
Certified Protocol Instructor, Singapore
“As a diplomat, I believed I understood protocol. ICPA deepened my understanding of the ‘why’—especially around Japanese silence, ceremony, and dignity. The result is quiet confidence: I can read the room, respond appropriately, and represent my institution with greater precision.”
