Specialist communication training since 2003

The International School of Communication is a specialist training and coaching company focused entirely on communication skills. We are not a generalist training provider. Every course we deliver is designed to build practical, applicable communication capability for working professionals.

We are headquartered in London and deliver training in London, Dubai and live online. Since 2003, we have worked with organisations in more than 82 countries, from Fortune 500 companies and national governments to central banks and international institutions.

Our courses are vocational, not academic. They are built for the workflow of busy professionals who need to communicate more effectively under real-world pressure, whether that means delivering a board presentation, handling a hostile media interview, or leading an organisation through a crisis.

ISOC delivers training across two core areas:

For communication and PR professionals: media relations, crisis communication, corporate communications strategy, reputation management, internal communications, public affairs and ESG communication.

For managers and executives: public speaking and presentation skills, media interview training, executive presence and authority, negotiation, and interpersonal communication skills.

Courses are typically one to two days, intensive and practical, with extensive individual practice and coaching. We also deliver five-day immersive programmes and tailored in-house training for organisations.

We deliver in the format that works best for each client:

• Classroom courses at ISOC London and ISOC Dubai, with small groups and hands-on practice
• Live online courses on Zoom, delivered from the ISOC studios with the same interactive format
• In-house and custom programmes designed for your organisation, delivered at your location or ours, anywhere in the world
• Executive coaching for senior leaders preparing for high-stakes communication

ISOC London is accredited by the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education. ISOC Dubai is accredited by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority. All ISOC courses are CPD certified and Pearson assured.

Quality is independently audited by national and international education authorities in the UK and the UAE. Our trainers are vetted through the ISOC Accredited Trainer Programme, which requires both subject expertise and proven training ability.
