Diplo Academy offers online training solutions for professionals working in ministries of foreign affairs, diplomatic academies, and other parts of the public administration. Attracting participants from all over the world, our online training provides a practical and substantive complement to national diplomatic training programmes.
If your institution is interested in organising training for your employees, please contact Mr Andrej Skrinjaric, Director of Education and Training, at andrejs@diplomacy.edu for more details.
Benefits of Diplo courses

- Courses are practice-oriented, with a focus on skills development.
- Courses are at a European Union postgraduate level and taught in English.
- Training can also be delivered in a blended mode (online + face-to-face elements).

Workshops
Diplo offers a wide range of capacity development in-situ and online workshops covering different topics, from public speaking to diplomatic protocol and dealing with the media. Workshops are exercise-based, and aim to help participants identify and overcome challenges by providing practical tips, tools, and solutions.

The media training with Diplo Foundation was truly a great experience, both provocative and engaging. The exercise widened my understanding of the media environment and taught me how to use my words and body language to deliver effective messages, maintain composure throughout media interviews, and avoid potentially disastrous consequences of being ill prepared. I recommend this workshop to all diplomats desiring to improve their media skills.
