PROTOCOL training
2-day protocol training in English: Protocol, etiquette, ceremonial, hospitality, event management and cultural differences (deze cursus in het Nederlands, klik hier).
How should you avoid sensitivities in placing guests? What is the right order of precedence and which guests rank most highly? How are ushers used to receive and place guests? To what type of meeting is protocol applicable and how are these meetings organised? After completing this training you will be equipped to meet the challenges of the complex protocol management.
The Institute of Protocol The Hague trains you to be a protocol professional. You become proficient in organising meetings with dignitaries and you can be an advisor for colleagues. Our aim is to teach you all the basics of protocol.
