Course Overview

The five-day (5) training will provide the participants with the required skills and confidence to effectively manage events with a blend of appropriate protocol procedures in order to enhance their legislature’s image. The course will provide a comprehensive grounding in event management allowing participants to effectively organize events.  This Training will enhance the participants’ soft skills and deepen their understanding of protocol and event management in a Legislature.

Course Rationale

In today’s diplomatic world, protocol has become a sophisticated and strategic asset.  The protocol guides how we behave socially and interact in specific situations.  This positively impacts how people live and work together with less friction caused at a time by barriers in the social-cultural environment in which we operate.  Traditionally protocol tended to have a narrow definition and therefore was classified as of operational rather than strategic significance.

In today’s world, protocol is more than escorting visitors and other of persons of precedence in the government and corporate world, it enables people of diverse backgrounds and social orientations to manage today’s complex and cosmopolitan world with ease and finesse.  A well -executed event creates a lasting and positive impression on the audience and motivates them to relate in a cordial manner in future.
