Today's intercultural skills are considered a core competency for managers and employees. No matter whether you travel overseas on business, manage international customer accounts, work in an international team or lead one, or are assigned to a foreign office as an expat, intercultural skills are always relevant.
Our cross-cultural training sensitizes you to the issues of intercultural collaboration, offering a valuable theoretical foundation as well as practical knowledge that you can apply directly on the job. We are dedicated to providing the necessary cultural awareness training to make these opportunities a reality for all types of organizations.

How we test cultural competence at Berlitz
How our cross-cultural training works
The first step in developing a culture training program is to determine the needs of your organization.
Based on your needs, we will develop a culture training solution that directly addresses those needs.
With the program developed, we will then work with you to determine the best way to deliver the training.
Once the training is completed, we will provide you with the data and results to make actionable decisions for your business. We will also work to determine any additional opportunities for further training that might benefit your business.
The six levels of culture
Our cultural awareness training addresses the six levels of culture that impact people’s work-style preferences:
National/Societal
Level 1
What many people think of as the only type of culture. National culture is the result of a country’s social, political, and economic history.
