The International Protocol Manager Training (IPMT) is a version of The Protocol School of Washington®’s acclaimed Protocol Officer Training offered at training locations outside the continental United States. Both trainings cover the same curriculum of skill building and core knowledge, preparing attendees to be effective protocol professionals in any situation or location in the world. The courses’ different names reflect the preference of U.S. graduates to be trained as protocol officers and those outside the U.S. to be trained as protocol managers.

It dictates how we behave socially, conduct business, and interact in specific situations. For the individual, having the professional skill to orchestrate events where social, religious, international, and political considerations are present is highly valued. For organizations, it is important to have personnel in place who are equipped with the right protocol credentials to create and maintain a competitive advantage.
