ISPD Group is an organisation born out of the need for an academic institution that prepares and certifies professionals in the fields of International Procedures, Corporate & Soft Diplomacy, Business Protocol, Security and Cross Cultural Intelligence. Since 2008, ISPD has grown into a company which currently owns 6 brands: Innovation in Diplomacy, Protocol and Diplomacy, Security & Governance, Impact, Certification & Licenses and Skills. Each brand was developed to deliver a value to a specific audience in the most accurate way possible. [1]

The company's headquarters are located in Brussels, Belgium. In addition, ISPD has branch offices in Lisbon, Portugal; Muscat, Oman; Hong-Kong; Mauritius, East Africa.

ISPD’s primary language of instruction is English, but it also provides lectures on other languages on demand. Its method of teaching is based on both face2face training and online learning platform for students in distant parts of the world.

Accomplishments

  • According to the Journal of International Diplomatic Higher Education, “the ISPD is the first international institution of diplomatic and protocolar higher education to offer an executive master degree in protocol, business and foreign relations thus giving it an enviable and exclusively unique niche in diplomacy’s intimate sister statecraft, protocol. The ISPD’s masters degree in protocol programme is only the more elevated on the scale of exclusivity, prestige and privilege by its access to the Brussels, EU and larger euro-continental diplomatic communities at The Hague and in Paris, London and Geneva.”[2]
  • In 2017 ISPD Group was honoured with the Medal of the State Council of the Sultanate of Oman. [3]
