Cultural training

Our intercultural training seminars are designed for small groups of up to 10 participants and can be delivered online, in person at our language center in Sofia, or directly at your company’s offices. Depending on the topic and format, sessions range from short booster modules (90 minutes) to half-day workshops and multi-day programs. Each seminar is interactive, using role-plays, case studies, and personalized feedback to make the experience practical and directly applicable to real intercultural challenges in the workplace.

Our cultural coaching addresses the most relevant skills for working across cultures. Popular areas include diversity and inclusion, unconscious bias, cultural awareness, leading multicultural teams, and building stronger global collaboration. Training may also cover relocation preparation, virtual teamwork, and inclusive leadership practices. Each program is tailored to your company’s goals, ensuring content is immediately useful in your business context.

Yes. Intercultural training is valuable for professionals at every stage. New employees gain the awareness needed to collaborate effectively with international colleagues, while managers and executives develop advanced skills for leading multicultural teams or preparing for overseas assignments.

Berlitz combines business expertise with deep cultural knowledge. Our seminars are led by intercultural specialists with international business backgrounds, and they integrate proven tools like the Cultural Navigator and Cultural Orientations Indicator (COI) for personalized insights. This combination of practical business focus, cultural expertise, and interactive methodology ensures participants leave with strategies they can apply immediately in their global roles.

The duration depends on the topic and group size. Most programs last from half a day to two days, providing time for reflection and practice. For organizations seeking shorter, focused learning, we also offer online intercultural booster seminars that can be completed in 90 minutes. This flexible approach makes it easy to integrate training into busy schedules.

Our intercultural seminars are available in English and German, with other languages available upon request. This ensures employees can train in a language they are comfortable with while focusing on cultural skills for international collaboration.

Participants learn to navigate cultural differences with confidence, adapt communication styles to diverse contexts, and manage culture shock more effectively. They gain practical tools to foster inclusivity, strengthen cross-border collaboration, and lead multicultural teams with greater success. The training helps build long-term cultural agility, a core skill for global business.

These seminars are ideal for executives and managers leading multicultural teams, HR professionals responsible for diversity and inclusion, employees working with international colleagues or clients, and professionals preparing for relocation abroad. Any organization looking to improve cultural awareness and global collaboration will benefit.

Intercultural training is available year-round. Companies can schedule seminars when it best supports their business needs — for example, before relocating employees, during team integration projects, or as part of diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Seminars can be delivered at our center in Sofia, directly at your company’s offices, or fully online. Many businesses choose a hybrid model, combining in-person workshops with online follow-ups, to balance flexibility with interactive engagement.

We provide both individual and organizational feedback. Tools like the Cultural Navigator and the Cultural Orientations Indicator (COI) give participants personalized insights, while progress reviews and post-seminar evaluations allow companies to track learning outcomes. This helps HR and L&D teams see clear evidence of improved collaboration and cultural awareness.

Even for short projects abroad or regular international travel, cultural coaching helps employees adapt faster, avoid misunderstandings, and build stronger relationships with local colleagues and clients. Many companies schedule a targeted seminar before employees begin an overseas project or take on a new international role.
