The Protocol School of Washington provides solutions that will help your government agency or military organization achieve its goals for staff training, cross-cultural and intercultural intelligence, and professional development. Trainings are conducted online or onsite.

Government Training Around the World: Onsite or Online

The Protocol School of Washington’s team of master trainers, who are subject matter experts, have provided protocol and etiquette training to thousands of government and military personnel in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and worldwide. Training is available in the modality and timeline that meets your organization’s needs. The Protocol School of Washington is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (www.ACCET.org) and is a GSA Schedule contractor.

We offer private onsite and online sessions of our certificate programs for additional flexibility for deployed military and civilian personnel overseas. These programs can be delivered in their entirety -- resulting in a certificate of completion -- or adjusted to concentrate on key area topics and learning objectives.

• Providing business etiquette and executive dining tutorials for senior military officers, Senior Executive Service (SES) leaders, and senior enlisted personnel.
• Instructing government and military leaders on intercultural etiquette, professional communications, and cultural awareness.
