The paper demonstrates the importance of intercultural training as a part of expatriation process with the aim to easily adapt in international assignment. Based on review of available training approaches, the research to obtain empirical data was conducted. The experience of a sample of 164 Czech expatriates from the multinational company in the Czech Republic was investigated via questionnaires regardless their host location. Findings illustrate the current practices and highlight weaknesses of their preparation process, such as insufficient timing of preparation, including accompanying families and overall accessibility to the training tools.
