Course Content
The UK has recently taken massive steps to improve its relationship with the Arab World, signalling to businesses and organisations the Arab market will only become more valuable. Already Arab tourists are among the highest spenders in London’s popular luxury shopping districts, and easing visa restrictions will increase the number of yearly tourists. In addition, negotiations for a free trade agreement are currently underway.
Businesses and brands that are prepared for working with Arab consumers and partners stand to benefit greatly from this progress.
However, many falsely believe they do not need to adjust their strategy to work with Arabs or in the Arab World and harmful stereotypes still circulate in the media. This could damage relationships beyond prepare and severely harm your business.
Why Arab Culture?
Anyone who works in the Arab world or with Arab customers would benefit greatly from this course. Anyone who wants to learn more about the Arab world and Arab culture will appreciate our customised training programme.
Who should attend?
The course is entirely customised to your needs. Prior to your course beginning, you will have a one-on-one consultation with your expert instructor to go over your exact needs and requirements. This consultation will establish your current level of understanding, required areas of focus, and your learning style, to make sure the course serves you as well as possible. The workshops typically combine theory and practice, using relevant examples and real case studies to increase understanding, comprehension, and retention. The size of your group will also be taken into account when making your personalised lesson plans.
