Training Programme
“Have you ever wondered why some international students don’t make eye contact with you?”
“Or why a seemingly simple group work task with a culturally mixed group of students runs into unexpected difficulties?”
ICOS is currently taking bookings for our cross-cultural training programmes for 2009-10. Our training courses are aimed at increasing cross-cultural awareness and cross-cultural competency for those who work with or teach international students. The ICOS training programmes have been specifically developed to meet the needs of those who work in the third level education sector. ICOS tries to keep group sizes small to encourage group interaction and sharing of expertise.
Training courses available are:
Half day workshops
* Introduction to Cross-Cultural Awareness
* Introduction to Cross-Cultural Communication
* Teaching in a Cross-Cultural Environment
One day workshop
* Introduction to Cultural Awareness and Cross-Cultural Communication
Tailored training
* Tailored training packages are also available subject to capacity.
ICOS is acutely aware of the pressure that training budgets may be under in the current economic climate and our training rates are very competitive.
