Global Competence Assesment and Training
We support diverse groups and organisations for whom intercultural communication is a vital skill to the success of their performance and organisational success.
The Value Learning team is experienced in helping organisations by identifying training needs, analysing and designing best interventions, and evaluating results.
We are certified administrators of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), Inclusive Behaviours Inventory (IBI) and GlobeSmart. In addition, we have extensive experience using the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES) and Intercultural Conflict Styles (ICS) for mobility programs, virtual exchange, global competence programs and organisational change programs.
We are qualified trainers for the Global Competence Certificate, and our team can help individuals, teams or organisations assess and develop their intercultural competence. Our courses can be adjusted to align with your needs and offer a transformational experience for teams to work together to enhance their global skills in an interactive and meaningful way.

Value Learning can leverage the AFS GCC as an effective tool as a part of its intercultural learning consultation, facilitation, and program design and development services for education, non-profit, and government organisations across Australia.

IES -The Intercultural Effectiveness Scale
The IES provides an assessment of the degree to which students possess competencies that are critical to interacting effectively with people from other cultural backgrounds. These include intercultural self awareness, continuous learning and resilience. This is an effective tool that we utilise in our work across a range of organisations.
IDI - Intercultural Development Inventory
We are qualified administrators of the The Intercultural Development Inventory® – the premier cross-cultural assessment of intercultural competence that is used by thousands of individuals and organizations to build intercultural competence to achieve international and domestic diversity and inclusion goals and outcomes
Inclusive Behaviours Inventory
The Inclusive Behaviours Inventory (IBI) is a self assessment that helps individuals understand their own strengths and areas for improvement in building a more inclusive workplace. The IBI provides you with a baseline, showing where you rank across five dimensions of inclusion with the Inclusive Behaviors Model℠. Using this framework provides five clear ways to help you learn and grow. The IBI has undergone rigorous psychometric analysis, including reliability, validity, and ongoing testing.
