What changes after training

We train for a change you can see at work, not for a week at a hotel

Every programme is built around the work your people already do, with tools and templates they use the following week. This is the difference sponsors tell us they notice.

Advanced Planning & Communication

Before

Support staff react to whatever lands; executives chase updates.

After

Staff plan the week, anticipate needs and communicate in a way leaders trust.

AI Fluency

Before

Staff are anxious about AI or use it quietly, with no rules on accuracy or confidentiality.

After

Staff use AI daily on real work with one discipline: Frame, Verify, Own.

Microsoft 365 Copilot at Work

Before

Licences paid for, little use, staff unsure what is allowed.

After

Teams use Copilot daily on real work, inside agreed guardrails.

International Relations, Diplomacy & Protocol

Before

Officers rely on habit for precedence and correspondence, and read geopolitics in fragments.

After

Officers host dignitaries, draft diplomatic correspondence and brief leaders with confidence.

Programmes

Four programmes, two languages

Each programme runs as a public cohort, online or in person, and can be delivered in-house using your own policies, tools and scenarios. Every cohort is also offered in French on the same dates.

Bilingual by design

Train English- and French-speaking staff in one engagement

English and French cohorts run on the same dates with French-speaking facilitators, so mixed teams can travel together. Workbooks, templates and certificates come in the language of delivery.

Shared iQ has delivered simultaneous English and French classes for a multilateral development bank, six half-day sessions over two weeks, online.

Where we train

Four Caribbean islands, four African cities

  • Training in the Caribbean: Rodney Bay, St. George’s, Bridgetown and Grand Cayman
  • Training in Africa: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kigali and Abidjan, our French-speaking hub
  • Secure business hotels with private training rooms, and airport transfers on request
  • Or live online via Zoom, wherever your team is

In-house training

Train the whole team, not one person at a time

Any programme can be delivered exclusively for your institution, built around your own policies, approved tools and real scenarios. Our most requested format is six half-day sessions over two weeks, so staff learn without leaving their desks for days.

  • Classes of 15 to 20, online or at your premises
  • English and French classes in parallel if you need both
  • Draft terms of reference, facilitator profiles and procurement documents provided
