Saudi Arabia Cultural Awareness

Our 'Saudi Arabia Cultural Awareness' training course, can be delivered in a classroom setting or via webinar. It is possible for webinar recordings to be uploaded to an eLearning platform, along with supplementary resources, quizzes and case studies for future access.

Aims of the course

When doing business in Saudi Arabia, it's essential that you understand Saudi business culture as it differs greatly to British business culture. There's a certain way of 'doing things' in Saudi Arabia and to get the most out of your transactions, it's important that you understand the expectations that your counterparts might have of you, local business rules, business etiquette and behaviors most likely to cause offence. By gaining this understanding, you are more likely to successfully build positive and productive business relationships.

This is an online course, hosted by our sister company, 'Commisceo Global Consulting'. The course has been developed by Saudi Arabia business experts and imparts practical insights and strategies which will help you to manage your transactions confidently. 

The course can be accessed via the Commisceo Global Consulting website, or, be uploaded to in-house learning management systems.

Our Saudi Arabia cultural training course can also be delivered as a face-to-face course, onsite directly to your staff by a member of our specialist Saudi Arabia cultural training team if requested.
