Logistical Expertise with International Tailored Executive Programs
Executive Training’s Short Course Program officers plan all stages for international participants in custom-designed programs including arranging pre-travel briefings, visas and insurances, flights and itineraries, local accommodation, airport and hotel pick-ups as well as breakfast and dinner arrangements as added options.
Our Program Officers also coordinate internal travel arrangements and host formal welcoming ceremonies, networking lunches/dinners, graduation ceremonies as well as provide tea, coffee and refreshments during courses. Intensive use is made of public sector agency visits and on-site presentations from industry practitioners. Provisions for internships or work placements are also arranged where possible in order to optimise the experiential learning process for course participants.

The scope and depth of our international exposure is extensive with public sector officials being drawn to our programs from as far afield as Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Vietnam and many Pacific nations. In catering to this diverse group, our Executive staff and Presenters have progressively refined the pace and content of their instruction to suit the cross-cultural training needs of participants.
Presenters also encourage and engage foreign students in interactive workshops and foster their active participation during discussions. These skills contribute to the experiential learning process for foreign participants and provide for an enjoyable and stimulating learning environment.
